Potato Soup

10 lg. potatoes, peeled and diced
2 lg. onions, diced
salt*
pepper
1&1/2c. dry milk   OR   5c. whole milk
1 stick butter or margarine
1/2c. flour

Boil potatoes and onions together until done (potatoes will be soft).  Add dry milk to water in pan or drain vegetables and add whole milk.  Bring back to a boil stirring constantly so milk doesn't burn, then reduce heat to low to medium heat.  Add butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Take a small amount of milk mixture and slowly add to flour, measured into a separate bowl, and stir until slightly thick and all lumps are gone.  Stir this mixture into pot.  Soup will thicken.

*may omit salt and add other herbs and seasonings to soup.  See link below for possible herbs and seasonings to use and their health benefits.
