BABA'S POTATO SOUP
==================

Peel and cube the potatoes (as if you were going to mash them) place
them in salted water and cook until done.

In a skillet melt a stick of butter (butter works best, I guess you
could use margerine) and dice a good sized onion into the butter and
cook until transparent.

When the potatoes are cooked, take an old "hand masher" and knock the
potatoes apart (in the water) don't mash them, just knock 'em apart.
Add the butter and onions to the pot of potatoes.  (after she added the
butter and onions to the pot, she always took a dipper of water out of
the potatoes and put it in the hot skillet and warmed it and added it
back to the potatoes, sometimes she did it twice).  Allow this to
continue cooking...

In a large glass or cup (with a pour spout) mix an egg or two with flour
(it should be runny enough to pour, just about pancake batter
consistency or looser.  if it gets too thick you can add a little water)
Pour the "drop noodles" into the boiling soup, stir gently as you pour
the batter.  When the "noodles" float to the top they are done and the
soup is ready to eat.

No measurements - sorry I learned by watching and my grandmother didn't
measure much of anything.

BAKED POTATO SOUP
=================

Ingredients:
------------
4          large potatoes
2/3 cup    butter
2/3 cup    flour
1 1/2 qt   milk
4          green onions, chopped
1 cup      sour cream
2 cups     crisp-cooked, crumbled bacon
5 ounces   Cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
-------------
Heat oven to 350F degrees and bake the potatoes until fork tender.  Melt
butter in a medium saucepan.  Slowly blend in flour with a wire whisk
until thoroughly blended.  Gradually add milk to the butter-flour
mixture, whisking constantly.  Whisk in salt and pepper and simmer over
low heat, stirring constantly.

Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the meat and set aside.  Chop half the
potato peels and discard the remainder.  When milk mixture is very hot,
whisk in potato.  Add green onion and potato peels.  Whisk well, add
sour cream and crumbled bacon.  Heat thoroughly.  Add cheese a little at
a time until all is melted in.

GREEN ONION AND POTATO SOUP
===========================

Ingredients:
------------
5-6    medium sized potatoes
half a bunch of green onions, sliced
1      (or more) shiitake or Chinese black mushroom (I also like to toss
in a few dried porcini mushrooms)
1      chicken leg
1 cup  milk
pepper
bay leaves

Instructions:
-------------
Soak the mushroom in hot water for 30-45 minutes.

Peel and slice the potatoes.  Saute the onions in a little bit of olive
oil over medium heat.  Add the potatoes and a quart of water.  Put in
the bay leaves and the chicken leg.  Simmer for an hour.

Dice the mushroom and add the mushroom pieces and the soaking water to
the soup.

When the potatoes are done, smash them with a fork or a potato masher
and stir the soup well.  Add the milk and season with salt and pepper.
Oh, before you smash the potatoes, take the chicken leg out and cut the
chicken into little pieces and add it back in.

Note:
-----
If you're watching your cholesterol, leave out the chicken and the milk.
The soup is still good without them.

POTATO SOUP
===========

Start some onions sauteeing in a little butter or oil.  Maybe one large
onion, chopped fine.

Peel a few potatos and chop into small pieces.  When the onions are
done, add the potatos, and some salt to taste.

Add 3-4 cups of chicken stock.  Cook on low heat until the potatos are
soft.

Add 3 cups of milk, some cooked peas, herbs (dill would be nice) and
fresh pepper.

Heat thoroughly and serve.  A nice addition is about 8 oz of chopped
lox, which can be had inexpensively as trimmings at many delis.  Other
fish soups can be made on this basic recipe.  Smoked haddock works well
here, too.

POTATO SOUP
===========

Chop up an onion or two (depending on how big they are) and several
stalks of celery, including some leaves.  Saute in margarine until soft
in a big pot.  In the meantime, peel as many potatoes as you like.  I
usually peel enough to cover the bottom of the pot in a fairly deep
layer.  Cut the potatoes in half or fourths, depending on how big they
are.  Cover with water and simmer until the potatoes are done.  Take a
potato masher and mash the potatoes until they're reduced to bite-sized
pieces.  You'll get some chunks and a nice, thick broth.  Add one or two
cans of evaporated milk (again, depending on how big your pot is).  Salt
and pepper to taste.  A nice touch is to add very crisp bacon, crumbled
up, to the finished soup in the last few minutes of cooking.  Garlic
croutons are mandatory.

8           medium potatoes, diced
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
-------------
Mix ingredients together and cook about 30 minutes on medium heat.  Cut
up potatoes and add to mixture.  Cook until potatoes are done.  Combine
1/4 cup flour and 1 pint whipping cream and blend until smooth.  Add to
the soup mixture.  Let simmer until smooth and well blended.

Note:  You may want to half this recipe for a smaller amount of soup.
