Thyme is my favorite herb. I love the smell and taste. We stuff our roast chickens with it, along with a bay leaf, flattened garlic cloves, onions, celery and salt. Makes the house smell wonderful. We also found a recipe in a Betty Crocker cookbook for potato soup that is delicious and very quick to make. Will share it with you.
Home-Style Potato Soup
3 medium potatoes (about 1 lb)
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
2 green onions with tops, chopped
1-1/2 c milk
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/8 t dried thyme leaves (we use about 1 T of fresh leaves, chopped to release the flavor)
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
2 green onions with tops, chopped
1-1/2 c milk
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/8 t dried thyme leaves (we use about 1 T of fresh leaves, chopped to release the flavor)
Peel & chunk the potatoes. Heat the broth & potatoes to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat so that the mixture gently boils. Cover & cook about 15 min or until the potatoes are soft. Break the potatoes into pieces. (We use a potato masher to mash a few chunks and give the soup a thicker consistency.) Stir in the milk, salt, pepper, thyme & onions into the mixture. Heat over medium heat, stirring some, until hot & steaming. Do not let the soup boil. May add 1-1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese at the end.
NOTES: We often cook up a link of turkey sausage (or you can substitute vegetarian sausage) and toss it in when the soup is heating up at the end. If we do not have green onions, we use regular onion and cook it with the potatoes. The recipe makes a small batch, 3-4 servings.
