Directions:Need two pots.
In 1st pot: dice up potatoes into pot (I leave skin on) and fill pot with water until potatoes are barely covered. Put in 1 tsp salt and boil. Chop up onions and add to boiling mixture. Boil for approx 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
In 2nd pot: Melt butter and add flour, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. This mixture with look like paste. Next add the milk and mix on medium heat until mixture thickens. Make sure you cook it slowly enough to allow mixture to thicken.

Notes: This is a great starter soup. You can add various other vegetables (carrots, celery, etc). I've made it for both lunch and dinner - especially when it's cold outside. You could probably even add clams to this to make a clam chowder, although I have not done that yet.
