Cambridge Country Inn and Pub Sour Cream and Chive Potato Soup

I have never heard of Cambridge Country Inn and Pub before I saw this recipe on CD Kitchen.
I still haven't actually ever heard of it.

A quick Google search brought up a couple mentions of a place in Cambridge WI by this name. Without ever seeing a menu, I can only assume this is the one.

One Monday night I made this soup. We all enjoyed it that night. The following Thursday was a crazy day. Told hubby we were having the leftovers for dinner. He responded with "OMG AGAIN? How many times are we going to eat this?"
I reminded him it was only our second meal.
He was all "oh. I guess it just feels like more"
Huh?

So, reheated soup...handed him a bowl and he was all "I freaking love this soup"
Hmm.

Time to clean up dinner, there wasn't much left. He was determined to save every last drop.

I can only assume he had been thinking of some other meal when he "complained" earlier.

Men! They claim we are the hard ones to understand...I think not!

Ingredients:
1 ¼ Lb russet potato (peeled and diced into ½ inch square)
¾ Cup Margarine
¾ Cup flour
1 Onion (chopped)
2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
7 Cups Water
1 Bay leaf
2 Tbsp Chives (chopped)
1 Tbsp chicken base

  4. I was a kitchen supervisor at CCIP when we made this soup in the early 2000's. It's an amazing soup! We would sell it by the gallon. I would make 5 gallons and we would sell over a gallon for take out and the rest in house every Saturday. Glad to see it's still popular.
