Cheesy Potato Soup

Aaron and I really like this soup. It's a recipe from a lady who lives in Enterprise, Kathleen Clove.

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, diced
1 large onion
1 qt. water
1/4 c. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
chopped chives or parsley
1/2 c. milk

Combine potatoes, onion, and water in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. In another pan, melt butter and add flour, cook and stir until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat and stir in milk. Return to heat and stir until thickened. Stir mixture slowly into potatoes and cook and stir until soup thickens. Add cheese and seasonings, then serve with chopped chives or parsley. Makes 4 servings.

You can also add ham or sausage if you want it to be more meaty. :)
