Potato Soup- Gluten Free option

When I went GF I made simple change to my famous Potato soup.  Enjoy! Makes 4 small bowls. 167 calories per cup.

4 cups cubed potato (peel min 2 cups)

1/4 tsp white pepper

6 twists black fresh black pepper

6 twists salt.

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

2tbsp flour.  Or, for gluten free variety, see * below.

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2tbsp butter

2 cups of whole milk (you can use other milk, but it won’t be as thick or creamy)

Garnish: chopped green onions or chives, sharp cheddar cheese.

Directions

1) Boil water with salt.  Once boiling, add potatoes.  Heat until tender (30 min)

2)  *Drain but don’t rinse potatoes.  The starch that remains on the potatoes will help thicken the soup in absence of traditional flour thickener.

3) Add potatoes back to pot, then add all remaining ingredients but garnish.  Heat until simmered.

4) add to bowls, garnish. Add salt to taste.
