Basic Potato Soup

From the "Where's Mom" cookbook

Ingredients:
10 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup sliced carrot
1 chopped onion
2 chicken bouillon cubes

Put ingredients into a large pot and add enough water to just cover potatoes.  Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender. Do not drain.

In blender combine:
1 large can evaporated milk
3/4 c flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme leaves
pepper to taste (I throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes since this is a very basic soup)

Blend and pour over hot potatoes.  Stir, then add 1/2 cube buetter or margarine.  Heat and stir until soup thickens.  Add milk if soup is too thick.

Garnish with cheese, chives and/or bacon.
