Creamy Potato Soup

Ingredients:
Potatoes
Onions
Butter
Milk
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Water

Toppings:
Chives
Extra onions
Grated cheese
Sour cream

Chop 1 - 2 potatoes for each person. Potatoes should be in nice bite sized pieces. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes or until just soft enough to mash with a fork. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside. Melt a good amount of butter in a pan. Add diced onions and cook until just soft. Mix 2 tablespoons of flour in one cup of milk. Add this to the onion butter. Heat until thickening starts. Stir constantly. Add the cooked potatoes. Add more flour mixed in milk until it covers the potatoes. Set heat to high and stir every 1-2 minutes. When thickening becomes frothy it is done. Salt and pepper to taste. Provide fresh toppings and serve.

To reheat: add more milk and stir constantly, while on heat, until hot enough.

This is a great winter soup. My whole family loves it.
