COLORFUL POTATO SOUP
I had to post this because it is one of my daughter's favorite meals. We top it with shredded cheese, and have yeast rolls on the side. It isn't spicy, so most kids like it. This recipe came from "Now You're Cookin" Cookbook.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh rosemary)until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

LUSCIOUS POTATO SOUP
This is my favorite potato soup recipe ever. I actually prefer to skip bacon as I find the smoky flavor overwhelms the delicate flavor of the onions and creme fraiche. I don't bother using a blender for this soup as a bit of chunky texture is great.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, shallots, green onions, salt, and pepper; saute until softened and beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and herbes de Provence; saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Avoid burning the garlic; it will turn bitter.
- Add potatoes to onion mixture and toss well to coat. Pour in vegetable broth and milk; stir well. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender and can be easily broken up with a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to roughly mash the potato chunks until the soup is relatively smooth and the largest chunks have been broken up.
- Whisk creme fraiche into the soup and taste for seasoning. Add additional pinches of salt or black pepper if the soup tastes flat.

- Add vegetables to the soup: Vegetables will add flavor, color, and texture to the soup. Some good vegetables to add include carrots, celery, onions, and leeks.
- Season the soup to taste: The soup should be seasoned to your liking. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Some good herbs to use include parsley, cilantro, or chives.
