Making Potato Soup
This video walks you through the process of making a simple potato soup recipe using potatoes, carrots, onions, parsley and milk. The video demonstrates how you store the carrot and potatoes in water to prevent browning. The three potatoes should also be in the water coarsely chopped, and the carrot should be finely chopped. The third vegetable, a medium sized onion, should be chopped, preferably in a food processor. The video then goes on to show you how to drain the water from the vegetables and cook them over the stove before adding the milk and cooking the soup. The final touch is to add parsley.
