Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover the potatoes and chopped onion with water and cook until soft.
- Drain the water and add 1 quart of milk; heat through, stirring gently.
- Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate pan, melt butter or margarine and stir in flour to make a roux.
- Add the beaten egg and cold milk to the roux, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Combine the roux with the potato and onion mixture and serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker soup, you can increase the amount of flour in the roux or blend a portion of the potatoes for a creamier texture. If you're looking for a lighter option, consider using skim milk instead of whole milk. You can also substitute half the potatoes with cauliflower for a lower-carb version. Adding herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Grumbire soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with Whole-Wheat Apple Cinnamon Muffins for a hearty meal. Consider a side salad or crusty bread to round out the meal, making it perfect for a cozy winter dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Grumbire soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If the soup thickens too much, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
