Northern Ireland Potato Soup
I actually got this recipe in my home-ec class in high school. My bf (and my ex-bf) loved this soup so much! It is perfect for cold fall days, and makes enough to warm up a family. So creamy! You can sub half and half for the heavy cream to save on calories, but the soup doesn't come out as thick so i just try to eat healthy the rest of the day to make up for it :)
Steps
In a large soup pot over medium-high heat combine chicken broth , butter , celery , potatoes , scallions , and pepper.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes , or until potatoes are tender.
In a small bowl dissolve cornstarch in the water , and slowly stir into the soup.
Simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the cream or half and half slowly while stirring the soup.
Once combined , simmer for 1 minute then turn off heat and serve.
