Heritage Home | Family Genealogy | Recipes Home   Soups, Salads & Sandwiches   Irish Potato Soup Gary and I have been delving into our Celtic roots and trying some of Scotland and Ireland's dishes. This is a recipe I stumbled on one day. We've tweaked it just a little to our own taste and to make it into an easier preparation.   Preparation time: About 1 hour Serves: 6   Ingredients: 6 medium potatoes 1 medium onion 5 c. chick stock 1 c. whole milk (or 1 small can of cream) 1 tbspn butter 1 tblspn parsley 1 tspn salt 1 tspn pepper   Directions: Peel and dice the potatoes into 1 inch cubes (or smaller). Dice the onion. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and saute the onion for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, coating thoroughly with the butter and onion. Cover and gently cook potatoes until soft. (don't let them get browned). Add the liquid, salt and pepper. Stir frequently and cook over medium heat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.   Serving: Serve warm. Using a ladle, spoon soup into bowls (makes about 6 bowls). Decorate with a pinch of parsley.
