DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot or dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the potatoes & onions until softened.

Add the chicken or vegetable stock and water and bring to a boil.

Turn down and simmer until vegetables are cooked (about 15 minutes).

Remove from heat and with an immersion blender, puree half the mixture.

Gradually stir in the milk, lemon juice, salt & pepper and return to heat stirring often until hot & ready to serve.

This soup freezes well. Makes a great side dish or starter on a cold day.

The mix of white / yellow flesh potatoes add a splash of colour.
