Golden Potato Soup

Yukon Gold potatoes are cooked with a whole onion, milk, butter, salt, pepper and oregano. When tender, the onion is discarded and the mixture is pureed until smooth.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 4 cups of milk
• 1 stick butter
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. oregano
• Garnishes such as grated cheese, bacon bits and chives

Directions:

Peel potatoes. Cube and rinse well. Peel onion and leave whole. Melt stick of butter in soup pot. Add all ingredients and bring to slow boil. Stir often to prevent sticking. When potatoes are tender, remove onion and discard. Transfer soup to blender and blend until smooth. Return to pot. Add a little more milk if mixture is too thick. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve with garnishes such as grated cheese, bacon bits and chives.

Number of Servings: 4-6

Notes from the Cook: This is a hearty soup that can be used as a side dish or makes an excellent entree served with a salad and homemade cornbread.
