Potato Soup

From last month

5-6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2-3 carrots
2-3 celery
1 medium onion
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp basil
2 cans chicken broth

Combine above ingredients and simmer until all veggies are cooked. You have to stir occasionally otherwise it might end up like mashed potato soup.

After veggies are cooked. Combine 2 Tbsp of butter with 2 Tbsp flour. Add mixture to soup to thicken. Then add 1 pint of half and half.

Heat until warm and serve.

It is good with melted cheese on top.
