4 tbsp (1/4 C) | Butter or margarine | |
1/2 | tsp | Pepper |
1 | tsp | Dried dillweed |
11/2 | C | Diced onions |
3 | C | Milk |
4 | C | Diced potatoes |
2 | tbsp | Chopped fresh parsley |
1 or 2 | Carrots, coarsely grated | |
Instant potato flakes or buds (optional) | ||
2 | C | Water |
1 | tsp | Salt |
In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Sauté the onions until golden. Add the potatoes, carrots, water, salt, pepper and dillweed. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes (or longer if you want potatoes creamy). Stir in the milk and parsley and heat until hot. If you want a thicker soup, stir in some instant potato flakes or buds during the last few minutes of cooking.
