8 c. chicken broth/stock (I'll be using veggie broth)
2 cubes chicken bouillon cubes.
2 med carrots, cubed
2 cups potato, cubed (I'll use 2 1/2 c.)
1 c. celery (I am omitting)
5 large dill pickles, grated (I'll add one more)
1/2 c. milk (I'll use 2%)
2 tbsp. flour
1 egg
5 tbsp sour cream (all I have is fat-free in the house and I'm not going back to the store)

In large pot, combine stock, bouillon cubes, carrots, potatoes, and celery.  Cook about ten minutes or just until the potatoes are soft.  DO NOT OVERCOOK

Add the dill pickles and continue cooking about 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, beat milk and flour until smooth.  Add a small amount of the hot broth.  Stir in and then add to the soup, stirring well.

Bring soup to a boil, stirring often  until slightly thickened.  Remove from the hear.

Beat egg and sour cream.  Add to soup, stir until smooth.  Keep the soup warm, but do not boil.

It's quite yummy.

Is it 2009 yet?

But some people REALLY like to find other people who are depressed and wallow in their mutual depression. And any excuse will do. The holidays just provide a great big excuse.  

Help me raise money for Jay Nixon, the next Democratic governor of Missouri

But before you go, you may be interested in knowing that I no longer participate in anything BUT the cafe and the "fun" threads here at BT.  I'd like to participate in the other diaries and offer substantive comments but that's no longer possible for me.  Since this community came to a consensus that outing corporate lawyers and attacking their clients is perfectly acceptable, I no longer substantively comment on anything that could involve me in a poltical argument.  It's a shame.  But you were part of that consensus a I remember.
