Potato Soup

3 large potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper as desired
water
@1/4 cup half & half
@2/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp Papa Jeabert's Spice de Terre (or 1/8 tsp ground cayenne, or 1/2 tsp dried dill)


Peel your potatoes and dice them into cubes (about 3/4 inch). Put potatoes, onion, and

carrot into a large pot. Add salt and black pepper. Add water at, or just slightly above,

the level of the potatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, until tender (15-20

minutes). Do not drain. Use a potato masher or fork to lightly mash the vegetables, and add

the milk and half & half to the mixture. Stir, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Stir in

seasoning and serve with crackers or croutons. Serves four. Warms you on a cold night!
