Green Pea and Potato Soup

[Barb Schaller]

First, no smart remarks about green potatoes, OK, Ray?

Cheap soup.

Slovak Green Pea and Potato Soup

About 3 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced
5 cups water
1 tsp salt
About 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
10 oz pkg (or 1-1/2 cups fresh) frozen peas
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup minced onion
2 Tbsp flour

In a 3-quart saucepan, cook the potatoes in salted water about 5 minutes,
add frozen peas and parsley and cook another 5 minutes or so, until
potatoes are tender. Make "zaprashka" (roux-type mixture) of butter,
onion, and flour, stirring until lightly browned. Remove from heat and
stir in about 1-1/2 cups broth from peas/spuds. Return all to pan and
simmer a few minutes. Adjust seasonings. About 4 servings.
