Hearty Potato Soup

Well with this cold weather we have had this past week and the morning being so dark. I'm thinking about cooking some of my old favourites. Here's one I thought I would share.
1- medium onion- chopped
1/3 cup of green pepper -chopped
1 clove (at least) of garlic- minced
1 tbl spoon of margarine (you can use olive oil too)
Saute above ingredients for 3-4 minutes you can do this in a soup pan then...
Add
1/2 cup of chicken broth ( I use the packets and make my own from that)
2 carrots slice and diced
1/4 cup of celery
4 small potatoes
pinch of nutmeg - (I have used currie powder instead for a different taste)
2 1/2 cup of milk
pinch of salt and pepper
Simmer 35-45 minutes
Puree when it's still warm and serve.
I sometimes grate cheese on the top of my cream soups it looks nice and it taste great.
I generally double this recipe for my family if we are eating it for a main course and I will usually have enough for lunch for 2 people the next day.
Let me know if you try it sometime this winter.

We had the soup today for lunch and it was as good as I remembered.
