This is a picture tutorial for Uncle Drew on how to make yummy Potato Soup!
Potatoes
Onion (I used frozen.)
Eggs
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Stick of butter
Evaporated Milk
First take a peeler and your potatoes. Get a plastic bag for the peelings.
OH NO!!!!!!!!
You forgot to wash your hands.
Wash them good!
I would suggest you check Noah for accidents in his pants before beginning!
Ok-- start peeling. I peel a whole 5lb bag. Put the peeled potatoes in a colander.
Look at those peelings. Throw them away, but remember to remove your peeler before disposing of the bag.
5lbs of potatoes...peeled. Eww...dirty!!
Fill your soup pot with water. You want just enough water to cover the potatoes after you dice them up.
I don't normally add much water. You can always add more once you see how full it gets with potatoes.
Clean them taters!
Clean them REALLY good.
Now dice up your potatoes. Careful to not cut off a finger. I have had close calls before. Wet potatoes can be kind of hard to work with.
Put your diced potatoes in the pot of water.
Add salt. Very important that you salt the potatoes. But....beware of how much salt you use. You must generously salt the potatoes, but not TOO generously. Trust me.
Onion. Now....I know you don't like onion, so you CAN skip it, but I highly suggest it. It adds so much flavor to your soup. I use frozen, but you may just chop up fresh.
Pour in your onion. Your call on how much to add.
Stir your potatoes with a really ridiculous looking facial expression. It adds to the flavor. Cook it on med/high until potatoes are done.
In the mean time.....
Let's play a game of....Find the smiling baby in the messy toy room.
THERE she is!
Ok...time to make your dumplings. We love putting dumplings in the potato soup. Adds a chewy texture. Yum! You want to take some flour. Crack eggs and stir. I can't tell you how much flour or eggs. Just start with a little. Add more flour to the eggs, add more eggs to the flour. You want a sticky, gooey mess in the bowl. OOPS...add some salt!
Again...crack the eggs....
Add eggs to flour...... OH NO!!!!!......
Kids are making a MESS!!! As long as they are alive, proceed with cooking.
Check to make sure the dog is still in the backyard.
Ok...take a minute to cuddle with the little princess.
This is what your dumpling dough will look like.
Potatoes are done! Time to add the dumplings! You can pinch the dumplings with your fingers and drop in the boiling water, or you can use a fork.
Drop all the dough in the boiling water. They will float on top of the water. Yum!
Time to add the stick of butter.....
And the can of evaporated milk.
Pour that evaporated milk!
Add your pepper...to taste...ACHOO...bless you!
Almost done! Stir that pepper in!
ALL DONE!!! You did it! You made a whole pot of Potato Soup!
Ta-da!!!
And here are what the critics say......
YUM!!!!
I shall eat my soup like a dog!
This soup is the BEST!
This soup makes my tail wag!
Why can't I have any??? :(
And here you have it!
Have fun making your soup, Uncle Drew!!!!
We love you!
