Mama's Potato Soup

5-6 white potatoes, diced
1 small white onion
3 stalks celery, diced
2-3 quarts milk
Salt, pepper and butter

Dice potatoes, onion and celery.  Cover with water and bring to a boil and cook till tender, yet firm.  Drain.  Bring milk to a boil (or may heat in microwave to speed cooking time) and add vegetables.  After boiling, add by teaspoon, dropping dumplings in.  Cook 10-15 minutes, then salt and pepper to taste.  Add 1/2 cube of butter.

Dumplings:
4 eggs
About 2 cups flour
1-2 tsp salt

The dumplings make the difference.  Beat eggs; sift flour and salt into beaten eggs (continue to add till dull appearance).  You may cut or add to this recipe.  It's great!
