CREAM OF POTATO SOUP

Serves 6

2 ½ Cups cubed potatoes 1 Tbsp. flour

1 Tbsp. chopped onion (Or 2 Tbsp. butter Or margarine

dry onion, reconstituted) 4 Cups liquid (cooking liquid

1 ½ tsp. salt from potatoes), plus water

1 Cup nonfat dry milk powder or milk

Cover potatoes and onion with boiling water. Add salt and cook until tender. Drain and save the liquid. Mash potatoes, or put them through sieve, set aside. Add dry milk and flour to liquid. Beat until smooth. Add butter. Cook over low heat, or boiling water until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring as necessary to prevent sticking and lumping. Combine with potatoes, and reheat.

TACO / ENCHILADA WHEAT SOUP

This fun recipe, from the old cook book, is one which will allow you to develop your own creative cooking abilities, because there are no set ingredient amounts to it. I suggest you begin with a cup of wheat and a cup or so of water, then go from there, adding the items to suit your own taste. Be creative!

Cook wheat until soft, set aside. In a skillet, place a small amount of oil, add salt, pepper, bouillon, garlic, and dry or fresh chopped onion to taste. Lightly brown. Stir in the wheat. Add either taco seasoning mix or enchilada sauce to taste. You may add any cooked meat if you desire. Heat to eating temperature, and serve. Can be served with tortilla chips and cheese crushed and sprinkled over top.
