Potato-Carrot Soup

Filed under: Recipes, Soups, Vegetables, retro food — Retro Food

From the Modern Family Cookbook

4 medium potatoes, pared

3 medium carrots, scraped

2 medium onions

3 cups boiling water

2 teaspoons salt

13/4 cups cooking water from vegetables

1 2/3 cups evaporated milk

Dash cayenne

Dash celery salt

Dice potatoes, carrots and onions and cook in the boiling water, with salt until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, saving the water then rice or mash the vegetables throughly. There should be 1 3/4 cups of cooking water, if not, add fresh water. Combine with milk, scald and slowly stir in mashed vegetables. Add cayenne and celery salt, reheat and serve. Dash each serving with paprika for color. 5 servings.

My notes: Remember this cookbook told us to boil our green beans for 30 minutes, yet potatoes and carrots take 15.
