Pot 'o Stone Irish Potato Soup
March 2012

Put away your Shamrock shake and start celebrating St. Patrick's Day the right way: with proper traditional Irish Potato Soup

Ingredients

• 1 magical Stone
  
• 2 tablespoons of Irish butter
  
• 2 medium sized onions
• 3 large potatoes, washed & peeled
• 1 cube chicken bouillon
• 2 cups of milk
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 3 pieces of celery, chopped
• 1 pinch ground black pepper & salt
• 1 ½ cup of grated cheese

Thinly slice the onions and potatoes and add to a pan with melted Irish butter and your magic stone

Add the chicken bouillon, celery, dried parsley, garlic and season with salt & pepper.

Cover the pan allowing the vegetables to soften under a low heat, do not let them brown.

Add milk and mix until soup becomes thick then stir in cheese until fully melted.

Serve piping hot with a few slices of buttered bread (preferably wonderful homemade brown bread) and enjoy.

This dish is fast, easy and festive.  Because of this it's a great soup to make to really embody the idea of stone soup.  Invite your friends over and ask everyone to bring an ingredient, and when they ask the secret - well it's the stone of course!
