I had no interest in potato soup till you witheld this recipe. You say it's cheap, easy to make and filling - but does it taste good?!

It's absolutely scrummy! Especially if you have melba toast with it!

Potato Soup

Ingredients

6 to 8 fist sized potatoes
1 to 1.5 pints stock ( chicken or vegetable is fine)
1 Large onion
large knob of butter and teaspoon of oil
small tub of fresh cream or elmlea
handfull of fine chopped parsley

Method

Melt butter and oil in a large pot (oil stops the butter burning, but keeps the nice taste)
Finely chop onion and sweat gently in oil mix
Peel and chunk potatoes into rough pieces
Toss these in hot oil mix
Pour on 1 pint of stock
Cook until potatoes are tender
Whizz in a blender until smooth
You may need to add more stock at this stage as the soup tends to thicken
Gently heat through again before serving
Serve with a drizzle of cream and some parsley sprinkled on top and melba toast on the side.

Enjoy ;D

Ps This soup tastes even better the next day, just add more stock or water as you heat it through, it thickens as it cools.

chicken breast sliced longways like youd slice a bun in half

open out place on top of each piece, a fish finger sized slice of motzarella cheese
sprinkle lightly with dried sage
on top of that place a slice of smoked ham wafer thin is ok but use a couple slices if your using wafer thin

fry in butter both sides for about 10 mins a side

remove from pan add half chicken oxo to juices and then double cream to make sauce
serve with green beans and a salad

you wont be sorry


this is an exellent low carb meal if your not on low carb have baby new potatoes with it

Lars Bars

About 6 Mars bars
About half a packet of Rice Crispies
A bit of margarine

Chop up and place Mars bars in a bowl, melt in microwave, stir in crispies and marge, pour into a shallow tray (greased) and cook in fridge, mark out with a knife before it goes too hard. Great for kids, sailors and private dentists.
Lewis Gerolemou,
