Potato
and Vermicelli Soup
1-1/2 cup sliced
potatoes
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup water
1-1/2 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 Tbs butter
1 cup vermicelli
Cook the potatoes
and onion in the water until they are soft, but not soft enough
to fall to pieces.
Rub half of
the potatoes through a sieve and return to the sliced ones.
Breakup a cupful
of vermicelli and drop into a pot of boiling water and let it cook
for ten or fifteen minutes before draining.
Add the milk,
salt, pepper, and butter to the chowder and cook together for a
few minutes. Stir the vermicelli lightly into it just before serving.
