Jack's Potato Soup

Serves: 1 Servings
* 4 md Idaho potatoes
* 1 tb Whole wheat flour
* 5 c Skim milk
* 1 c Water
* 1 md Onion
* 4 Cloves garlic, chopped
* 3 Shallots
* 2 Roma tomatoes
* 1 pn Rosemary
* 1 pn Saffron
* 1 c Red vermouth (ideally red
* -vermouth, though white will
* -do if absolutely necessary;
* -do not substitute red wine
* -for the vermouth, however.)
* 1/4 c White vermouth
* 2 tb Olive oil (use extra virgin)

Peel potatoes and dice into cubes the size you want in your soup. Peel and
dice onion and shallots; peel and chop garlic.

In a large stockpot, pour the olive oil and heat over medium to low heat
(around 4 on an electric range, unless you have copper pots and pans, in
which case make it more like 3 or even between 2 and 3). When you smell the
aroma that indicates the olive oil has heated, toss in the garlic, onions,
shallots, and rosemary. Stir a little bit, enough to cook reasonably
evenly, but no need to go nuts. Keep an eye on things untill the onion
turns translucent, but don't wait for things to turn brown.

Pour in the skim milk, the water, and the diced potatoes. Cover; increase
heat on range in order to bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, reduce heat
to low, so that the soup can simmer.
