Recipe Introduction
The basis of a good soup - especially a simple soup
such as this - is a good stock. The soup
should be made with a white stock, that is, water in
which a chicken, ham or bacon has been
boiled. Alternatively, stock can be made from a ham
bone or chicken carcass boiled with a few
root vegetables and herbs as available, and an onion.
The stock should be
drained, allowed to cool and the fat removed from the
surface.
List of Ingredients
6 medium potatoes
2 medium onions
3pt/ 1/2 l/ 6 cups stock or milk and water
mixed
1tbsp butter
parsley
salt and pepper
(serves six)
Recipe
Peel and dice the potatoes and chop the onions. Melt
the butter and gently cook the onions
and potatoes in a covered saucepan until soft but not
coloured. Add the liquid, adjust the
seasoning to taste, sieve if wished and serve in bowls
decorated with a little chopped parsley.
