Plain Potato Soup Monologue from Love in a Wood

From Love in a Wood by William Wycherley

any · contemplative · 59 sec

Peel, and cut in very thin small pieces three medium size potatoes. Put one-fourth cupful of butter in a soup kettle and let it melt and brown, but not burn. Turn the potatoes on the butter and stir till most of the butter is absorbed, for about fifteen minutes, being careful not to let the mixture burn. Add one cupful of cold water and let the potatoes come to boiling point and boil five minutes. Then add, gradually, one cupful of milk and as soon as it reaches the boiling point, add one tablespoonful of flour smoothed in three-fourths of a cup of milk, one teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of pepper. Remove from fire and serve.
