potato soup recipe as requested

 In the bottom of a heavy pot, drizzle with some olive oil. Take a chopped onion, 2-3 carrots diced small and a stak of celery diced and soften for a few min in pot on med heat.  Cut potatoes into bite size pieces, I used aprox 10 potato's.  Add to pot and then season with salt, pepper, red pepper, garlic powder then stir.  I then added a bit of country ham chopped up small.  I had about 4 biscuit slices worth.  Add a mix of chicken broth and water till about an inch over potatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for about 40 min.  Give it a love stir here and there to keep it from sticking.  Enjoy
