Creamy Potato Soup

 



tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 pounds (2 large) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1 can (12 fluid ounces) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Add potatoes, water and bouillon; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour mixture; continue cooking for 2 minutes. Stir in evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

VARIATION: If you’d like a richer soup, reduce flour to 2 tablespoons and use

1 can (7.6 fluid ounces) NESTLÉ Media Crema in place of evaporated milk.
