Creamy Potato Soup

Creamy potato soup that I make from memory. I don't know where I learned it from but added my own secret weapon.
Ingredients
- 3lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped into little bite sized pieces shopping list
- 4 ribs of celery, split down the center and chopped shopping list
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced into half moons shopping list
- 2 med onions, diced shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 3 tbs butter shopping list
- 3 tbs flour shopping list
- 4 cups of milk (I use 2%) shopping list
- 8oz sour cream shopping list
- 8oz shredded chedder cheese shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- In a large pot cover the potatoes, celery, and carrots with water. Add a pinch of sea salt and boil until potatoes are fork tender.
- Strain veggies keeping the water you cooked them in. I usually set a colender into a big bowl to drain the veggies.
- Return the pot to the med heat and add the butter. Once melted add the onions and garlic until soft.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for just a min to get rid of the flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure you have no lump.
- Add your veggies back to the pot and as much as the reserved liquid that you want. (I usually add enough cover the veggies by about an inch or so)
- Once the soup is hot again take about a cup of the soup and mix it together with the sour cream in a small bowl. Then slowly stir back into the soup.
- Add the cheese and stir until melted
- Season to taste.
- Now for my secret weapon, I like a really thick potato soup so what I do is bring the soup up to a gently boil and add some potato flakes a little at a time until I get it where I want it.

The potato flakes really worked. Thanks I've been trying to figure out a way to make really thick potato soup with out having to use too much flour or corn starch.
