Cream of Potato Soup warms your heart perfectly. Simple yet flavourful and comforting. Your family will ask for this whenever they feel cold.

Turkish people are so creative in finding names for things. Sometimes they use the names of some vegetables to make someone angry. The word ‘potato’ is one of them. It is used to describe overweight people. I know it’s rude, but mostly children use this word when they are addressing a person they don’t like. I think this is similar to ‘coach potato’.

Anyway, although the word ‘potato’ has a negative connotation when used for people, it is one of the vegetables that is used the most in Turkish cuisine. You can see it in several Turkish recipes either as the main ingredient or as an additional ingredient. Let’s see how  we use it to cook a delicious and easy cream of potato soup. You must try this recipe if you are craving for a heart warming potato soup these days!

We love it with a little chopped fresh dill or another herb and ground black pepper. Make sure you squeeze lemon in your bowl  if you love your soup tangy.

Updated: It is January 10, 2012 today and everywhere is covered with snow! We made this potato soup today with an addition of stock, so we added 3 cups water and 2 cups chicken stock. It was absolutely tasty and warming! Try it with stock to have a more flavourful and warming potato soup!

3. Put the butter in a pot. After it melts, add flour and cook until its colour changes, stirring continually.
4. Add milk in the pot and stir. (the flour shouldn’t get lumpy, so you should be very quick in this step)
