Dee Dee's Potato Soup

My dear friend Dee Dee made this soup for me one day for lunch when we were living in Utah.  It is so comforting in cool weather.  I have changed the recipe a tiny bit to make it vegetarian...

Tonight we are having some friends over for dinner.  We're enjoying this soup, biscuits, watermelon, and a mint brownie ice cream pie with whipped cream!



1 1/2 c. sliced green onions
1/4 c. water
5 c. cubed red potatoes with skins on
1 c. chopped carrots
1 t. salt
2 c. water
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
1/4 t. pepper
1 t. salt
4 c. milk or 2pts. cream

Saute green onions in water in a large pot.  Add potatoes, carrots, salt and 2 c. water.  Cook until bubbly; cover and simmer for 25 minutes.  Meanwhile, melt butter, flour, pepper, and salt in a saucepan.  Cook to make a paste.  Gradually add milk to flour mixture; cook until bubbly and thickened.  Carefully pour milk mixture into vegetable mixture.  Simmer until heated through.  Serve with shredded cheddar cheese.
