recipe image
This is an old Surrey cottager's soup, which is said to be a sovereign remedy for a cold. It has a slightly coarse texture. If a smooth texture is preferred, process the mixture in a blender, then reheat before serving.
Ingredients
Serves: 4

675 Gram Potatoes, cubed (1 1/2 lb)
3 Onions, finely chopped
15 Gram Butter (1/2 oz)
Salt and pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Grated nutmeg
600 ml Milk (1 pint)
Chopped parsley or grated Cheddar cheese, to garnish
Method
Place the potatoes and onions in a saucepan, cover with water and boil until tender. Drain well, add the butter, seasoning and nutmeg and mash thoroughly.

Stir in the milk and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Pour into soup bowls and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley or grated Cheddar cheese and accompanied with crusty bread.
