Ingredients:
potatoes
boiling water seasoned with salt
for every quart of water & potatoes...
1 quart sweet milk, or 1 pint rich sweet cream
4 oz. butter
4 tbsp. flour
a little pepper and parsley
Instructions:Having scraped and washed your potatoes, slice them up and boil them in water with a little salt till quite soft; then to each quart of the liquid, add a quart of sweet milk, or a pint of rich sweet cream, four ounces of butter, rolled in four table-spoonfuls of flour, and a little pepper and parsley; stir it till comes to a boil, and then remove it from the fire.
On a very cold day, as we are having today, there is nothing like a bowl of hot soup.
