THE BEST POTATO SOUP EVER! image

I have had this awhile and just came across it again. It is nice and creamy and really good. I made it last night and there was no left overs.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 lb baby red potatoes, sliced into small bite sized pieces
1 lb regular package uncooked bacon, finely diced
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 bunch celery, diced
8 c milk
4 c water
4 chicken bullion 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

Steps:

  • 1. In large pot, boil potatoes in water 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. 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.
  • 2. 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. In small, heavy saucepan melt butter. Add flour and mix well.
  • 3. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture bubbles, stirring 2 to 3 minutes to make a roux. While constantly stirring soup, add roux slowly until soup is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley, reserved potatoes, and cream. Garnish with cheese, bacon bits, onions or all three. Serve hot!

This soup is a waste of time and ingredients. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out terrible.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I found it to be bland and boring.

This recipe is a fail. The soup was watery and tasteless. I won't be making it again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup is so easy to make, but it tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. I love that I can have a delicious meal on the table in under an hour.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I didn't even notice it in this soup. It's so creamy and flavorful that the celery just blends right in.

Easy, tasty, and a hit with my family. I added a bit of diced ham for extra flavor.
