Potato Soup

Potato Soup

2 T olive oil or butter
2 onions, finely diced
3 bay leaves
sea salt
2 Q water
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
pepper
2 T parsley, chopped
Sauté the onions and bay leaves in oil or butter over medium heat.

Add the potatoes, turn up to high heat, and cook about 10 minutes. Onions will be browning and the mixture will be starting to stick to the bottom of the pan.

Add sea salt and 1 c water, then scrape the bottom of the pan. Add remaining water and bring soup to a boil.

Lower heat, partially cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are cooked.

Remove the bay leaves and season the soup with salt, pepper, and parsley.

Optionally, you can put some or all of the soup in a blender or food processor for a smoother, heavier soup.

**I added red and yellow bell peppers and sauted them with the onions. I also don't always add the bay leaves.
