ST. PATRICK'S DAY RECIPE: IRISH POTATO SOUP

No Author — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 09:08:00 EST

By Lance Buckley

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of Irish butter (It has a higher fat content than American butters, which makes the finished recipe creamier.)
2 medium sized onions
3-4 large potatoes, washed & peeled
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 cups of milk (2% or Whole Milk work better than skim)
1 clove garlic, crushed (If you like more garlic, try adding 1-2 more cloves)
1-2 teaspoon fresh parsley (Save some for garnishing)

ME OH MY OH FILE GUMBO

Serving Size 6 oz; 210 calories; 13 g fat; 95 mg cholesterol; 8g total carbohydrate

Makes 24 servings

First things first:
Get Fresh- Use chicken from free range organic birds; free from additives, hormones and a questionable raising procedure. Free range, organic, skinless chicken is much higher in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids as well as conjugated linoleic acids, which have positive cardiovascular effects. Buying your own free range organic chicken and breaking it down can actually be cheaper than buying processed chicken parts individually-plus you get the carcasses for stock.

Total Time: 30 Minutes
Yield: Serves 4
A few simple ingredients make a sumptuous soup. Be sure to use a high-quality cheddar; it's crucial to the dish's flavor. Choose a yellow cheese for the richest color. For a chunkier soup, skip the pureeing and just break up some of the potato with a spoon.

Yield: Serves 4
The Italian minestra refers to a variety of moderately thick soups. Minestrone is a hearty vegetable-filled minestra that often contains beans and sometimes pasta. We've omitted the pasta here but added some Italian sausage. With minestrone, it seems, there is no end to the delectable variations.
