Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 lb baby red potatoes, sliced into small bite sized pieces
1/2 pkg uncooked bacon, finely diced
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 bunch celery, diced
8 c milk
4 c water
4 chicken bouillon cubes (use a cup of the hot potato water to dissolve, then use the cup of hot water in place of one of the above cups of water)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
3/4 c salted butter
3/4 c flour
1/4 bunch freshly chopped parsley
1 c whipping cream
for garnish - shredded cheese, fried bacon bits and chopped green onions

Steps:

  • 1. In large pot, boil potatoes in water 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • 2. In sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain bacon fat and place on paper towel over plate to drain more. Add onion and celery to bacon pan over medium-high heat until celery is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. To the large potato pan, add milk, water, bullion, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is very hot, about 8 minutes, stirring often. Do not let mixture boil.
  • 4. In small, heavy saucepan melt butter. Add flour and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture bubbles, stirring 2 to 3 minutes to make a roux.
  • 5. While constantly stirring soup, add roux slowly until soup is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley, reserved potatoes, onions, celery, bacon and cream. Garnish with cheese, bacon bits, onions or all three. Serve hot!

This soup is sooo good! And it's so easy to make; dump everything in a pot and let it simmer away. I love the creamy texture and the smoky flavor from the bacon. I also appreciate the fact that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.
