Easy and Quick Gluten-Free Potato Soup

There is a forecast of snow for us so I thought that a soup would be appropriate for dinner.  I love making soup because it is filling but no too much so and it is warm.  We take leftovers to work in small containers because it reheats well.

Here is what you will need:

4-6 potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup onion (chopped)
Cooked sausage
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
2 cups chopped carrots

1.  In a large pot cook potatoes and carrots in boiling water until done
2.  Drain the potatoes and carrots and set aside
3.  Return empty pot to the stove and melt butter
4.  Add cornstarch and whisk with butter until a smooth base is formed
5.  Add the onion and seasonings
6.  Add 2 cups of milk and bring to a boil
7.  Slowly add remained of milk and bring to boil
8.  Add sausage, sour cream, and cheese
9.  Heat until thickened
