Potato Onion Soup, Irish-Style 4 tablespoons butter 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced 3 cups milk 5 1/2 cups broth 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, whole 1 cup light cream salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
Heat a 6 to 8 quart stockpot, add the butter and onion, and cook gently. Do not let the onion brown. Add the peeled and sliced potatoes, milk, and broth. Add 1/4 cup chives, celery seeds, and thyme. Cover and cook gently for about an hour on very low. Prepare a roux: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and whisk in the flour. Let the flour and butter mixture (roux) bubble for 2 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Thicken the soup with the roux, whisking carefully to avoid lumps. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes and then puree the soup in a food processor or food blender. Add the cream and gently reheat, but do not boil. Season with the salt and pepper. Serve with additional 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives as garnish. This soup can also be made with the chopped white part of 5 or 6 large leeks instead of onions as garnish. Add 1/4 cup chives, celery seeds, and thyme. Cover and cook gently for about an hour. Live on lettuce? Not us.
