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!
