How To Make cheesy potato soup w/dumplings

  • Step 1
    Put potato cubes, celery sticks, and whole onion in a large soup pan. Cover vegetables with water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  • Step 2
    Remove the celery and onion with about a cup of water and puree in a blender. Return mixture to the potatoes.
  • Step 3
    Add the milk and cheese. Stir over medium-low heat until the cheese is completely melted. Turn the heat to medium, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
  • Step 4
    in a separate bowl, crack eggs and after discarding shells, add flour with some salt and pepper until a thick dough forms.
  • Step 5
    When the soup begins to boil, drop dough into soup by teaspoons. The dumplings will float when they are cooked through. Cooking the dumplings throughh will take less than 5 minutes if they are dropped into boiling soup.
  • Step 6
    Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water and pour into soup. Continue Heating until soup is at the desired consistency. Reduce heat and serve with saltine crackers.
