Jeffs Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally; drain drippings. Add vegetables, seasonings and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes., Mix flour and milk until smooth; stir into soup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted. If desired, serve with green onions.

Steps:

• Combine the sweet potato, carrots, celery, leeks, lentils, ginger, 3/4 teaspoon curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a 4-to-6-quart slow cooker. Add 6 cups water and stir, then cover and cook on low, undisturbed, 8 hours.
• Stir the soup vigorously with a whisk to make a rough puree. Thin with hot water, if desired.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon curry powder and cook until the curry powder is slightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir the curry mixture into the soup and add the lemon juice, cilantro, and salt to taste. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Cover the bite-sized potato cubes with cold, salted water.
• Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down the heat to a simmer and cook until done (about 15 minutes).
• Pour the flour into a bowl and form a well (indentation) in the center.
• Beat the eggs together and pour them into the flour well.
• Pinch the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and egg together and the mixture will start to separate in to ‘pellets’.
• Drop the pellets into the boiling cooked potatoes.
• Simmer an additional 10 minutes or until the rivels (formerly known as pellets) are cooked through.
• Add the milk to the soup and heat through (do not boil).
• Season to taste.
