DEEP SOUP POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes with the onion, celery, flour and salt and pepper; set aside for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile melt the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add the potato mixture to the pot; stir to coat. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil; stir in the milk, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally about 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. 
• Taste, adjust salt and pepper, and continue cooking on simmer, uncovered, until the soup reach desired consistency and thickness. Garnish each serving with shredded cheese if you like and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Create a slurry by combining 1/2 cup of the cold water with flour in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
• Pour remaining water and milk into a large pot and slowly bring to a boil.
• Add celery, onion, mushrooms, chicken bullion, thyme, fresh pepper, frozen vegetables and return to a boil.
• Partially cover and simmer on low until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove lid, add potatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add chicken, and slowly whisk in slurry, stirring well as you add.
• Cook another 2-3 minutes, until soup thickens, adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve.
