Potato Soup
I'd call this a childhood favorite, only when I was a child I hated the stuff. At some point my brain decided to think better of itself. No Olsson collection is complete without:
Potato Soup
Straight from Recipes for a Small Planet
1/4 cup oil (whatever. A blorp.)
2 cups chopped onions (a medium onion)
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup chopped celery
6 medium potatoes, diced (I leave the skins on.)
1 quart stock (Vegetable stock works great and renders the recipe vegetarian. Chicken is also great.)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp dill seeds
1/2 tsp paprika (just tried this with some kick ass paprika and the soup turned orange)
1 tsp caraway seeds
2 cans evaporated milk (fat free works fine)
Heat the oil in a large soup pot; saute the veggies and potatoes until onions are transparent.
Pour in the stock, salt, and spices (not the milk), bring to boil, cover and simmer about 1 hour until the potatoes are tender but won't fall apart.
When it is ready to serve add the milk.
Great with toast. Or beer. Or both.

It always surprises me how appealing carrots, celery, and onions suddenly become when cooked together. Deeelicious.
