Cream of Potato Soup Recipe

Turkish people are so creative that they use the names of some vegetables to make someone angry. Potato is one of them. If the person we want to make angry is fat and short, we call him “fat potato” (ÅŸiÅŸko patates). However, potato is the main vegetable of most Turkish families. Let’s see how  we use it to cook a delicious patato soup.

Ingredients:

• 3 middle size potato
• 1 glass milk
• 5 glasses water
• 1,5 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Peel the potatoes and chop them. Boil them in water until they get very soft.

Mash the potatoes by adding 3 glasses water (the water you boiled them) with blender.

Put butter in a pot. After it melts, add flour and saute until its color changes.

Add milk in the pot and stir. (the flaour shouldn’t get lumpy, so you should be very quick in this step)

Pour the mashed potatoes mixture in the pot and keep stirring. Add 2 glasses hot water, salt and black pepper. And boil over medium heat.

After it boils, add cream and boil it for another 3 minutes.

Season with fresh mint and/or pepper flakes.

Enjoy it.
