I have a great soup that....like many of my recipes...I don't know exact
quantities of, but here ya go...

I take two pounds or so of red potatoes...any potatoes are good,
really...quartered
cover them with water....about an inch or two over the top
add vegetable boullion...in a pinch I've even just flavored the water with
soy sauce (it's all salt anyway) and pepper to taste
Peel and quarter three large onions and boil in pot with potatoes...
add a few celery stalks

While this is cooking, make about a cup of wild rice. Save this for the
very end.
Also chop up three or four carrots and boil or steam them until tender.
Save this also for the very end.

Cook this until everything is very soft. Put broth and potatoes and
everything into blender (you'll have to do a few batches in the blender).
After the potatoes and other veggies have made a nice puree, add carrots and
wild rice....serve with a thick hearty bread, and you'll be happy
