A Rural Journal: {Amish Chilly Day Soup Recipe}

I found this soup recipe in a book I'm currently reading, 

An Amish Kitchen, which, along with three short stories, 

also contains 45 Old Order Amish Recipes.

It looked to be a hearty soup that would warm us up on a windy February day in Nebraska.

The fact that I had all of the ingredients was also a major selling point. 

(I mean, who in their right mind goes grocery shopping on a Saturday?)

Enjoy!

Amish Chilly Day Soup Recipe

1 large carrot, chopped
2 cups water
1 large onion, chopped
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/3 cup macaroni
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
water enough to cover
1 pint cream (or 2 cups milk + 2 Tbs butter)
1 cup cooked meat (optional)

Add carrots to 2 cups water and cook until carrot is tender.

Add remaining ingredients in order given , except cream and meat. Add enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cook slowly until all ingredients are tender (about 15-20 minutes.)

Add cream and meat. Mix well. Heat thoroughly, but do not boil.

 Serve with croutons, crackers, or hot toast.
