Ingredients

  • 1 cup peeled, diced, uncooked potatoes
  • 1/8 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/8 cup butter
  • 1/8 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Method

  • In small saucepan, combine diced potates, onion, salt and boiling water. Simmer, covered 8 minutes. Set aside and do not drain. Don't make the same mistake I did once and automatically drain the potatoes, or there goes your soup.
  • In a medium saucepan melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk, blending until smooth. Simmer, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Add cheese and stir until it melts. Add the undrained potatoes and onion. Finish with the Worcestershire sauce.
  • Heat but do not boil. Sprinkle with paprika or chives (optional)
