JB'S POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Chop the onion and sautee in the vegetable oil until the onions are clear and soft.
• Peel and dice the potatoes; don't dice them too small if you like chunky soup. (For a real southern treat, leave the peel on one or two of the potatoes; just wash it and chop it!).
• Pour the onions and vegetable oil into a large pot (or crock pot.) Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, and enough water to cover it all.
• Boil it all together until the potatoes are cooked. (If you're using the crock pot on high, it will still take all night.).
• Scoop out about half of the potatoes and mash them with a fork. Pour the mashed potatoes back in with the other, and add all of the remaining ingredients. (Don't use both cheeses -- just pick one, please.) Mix it up and keep it over heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted.
• Finally, simmer for 30 minutes or until the potato soup has the consistency of mashed potatoes.
• When you're ready to serve, mix one part soup with one part milk or water.

Cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with the Cajun spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook until the potatoes are starting to get tender, about 10 minutes. Whisk together the milk and flour, then pour the mixture into the soup and allow the soup to cook for another 5 minutes.
• Remove about half of the soup and blend in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Pour it back into the soup pot and stir to combine. Let it heat back up as you taste for seasoning, adding more of what it needs. Stir in the cream, then the parsley,
