my ex loved this one sooo much, there's a note on the page asking for it "next week please..." from the book, "is it soup yet?"

2 quarts water, 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 medium sized potatoes,diced
2 carrots, diced
3 celery stalks,diced
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
chive garnish, bcon garnish,
pour the water in a 6 quart stock pot. add the potatoes, carrots and celery. bring to boil, cook 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. drain veggies, save liquid. place 1/2 the veggies in a food processor, puree. add the flour and 1/2 cup of of the reserved liquid, blend. place the other half of the veggies back into soup pot, add the veggie puree and 1 cup milk, slowly heat, being careful to not scald the the milk. garnish and serve.
i've added cubed ham or canadian bacon. good dish on cold day.
