My family has lived for several generations in Aroostook county Maine where schools still close In the fall for the potato harvest. I was wondering if the origin of this recipe is that region of Maine. They grow broccoli there, as well.
It is indeed!
There must be some mental telepathy going on. Being an bachelor (and cook for myself to survive) I like Potato Soup. Just opened and consumed a can of it. Then did a internet search for Potato recipes and downloaded a couple. OFA today sent me their recipe (telepathy?). I'll experiment making it from scratch. Noticed onions (and / or garlic) are not included. Will add as the canned soup incorporated it and was a nice blending. Will experiment with amounts and bacon or sausage might also be nice. Given time to produce, will eliminate the canned stuff. Thanks.
This sounds wonderful. Another recipe I need to try. Love your soup recipes!
Family and I loved this soup! It was a bit too thick—so I added about 2 cups of the potato water to it. Delicious! Only complaint: Doesn’t make enough! I will double the recipe next time!
Yes I was just thinking about starting the potatoes in water and/or stock, add chopped broccoli, and when veggies are tender, mash some of the potatoes and stir in the milk.
you could still easily drain off a few cups of water before adding stock and milk for a thicker soup, as I believe the recipe is aimed for.
For those wanting or needing to avoid dairy in this soup. I would substitute Ripple Milk and Ripple Half and Half. It's made from white pea protein and wonderful as a substitute when cooking and in coffee. I have made mashed potatoes with it and they were yummy!
I’ve made this recipe a few times. It is really delicious, filling and easy to make. Thank you
I do not eat potatoes, but I was wondering if I could sub radishes for the potatoes since cooked radishes taste a lot like potatoes.
What can I substitute for the milk and cream ?
