snow soup

i don't have children to trick into eating strange or unattractive foods,

but if i did i would call this snow soup...or better

yet, dirty snow soup if you've been naughty!

1 1/2 cups chopped onions

1 1/2 cups chopped celery

1 tsp salt

2 tbls butter

3 cups cubed, peeled red potatoes (you can leave the skins on if you want a dirtier look!)

3 cups water

2 tbls chopped fresh dill

2 tsp chopped fresh marjoram

1 cup milk

4 tbls neufchatel or cream cheese

in a soup pot, saute onions, celery & salt for 5 minutes on medium high.

add in potatoes, water dill marjoram, cover, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 - 15 minutes.

in a blender working in batches, puree the vegetable mixture with the milk & neufchatel. return to soup pot and gently reheat.

super tasty.

super cheap.

super easy.
