By sharon_rm2010

This chunky potato soup has carrots added for color. Large vegetable pieces don't freeze well.

• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrot
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 cups diced potato
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp parsley flakes
• 2 cups milk
• grated cheddar cheese for garnish
