Creamy Potato Soup






Who doesn't love potato soup? Especially this time of year. I usually do my potato soup in the crock pot, but I ran a little short on time and decided to do it on the stove top.




Ingredients :

4 potatoes
3 carrots
1 onion
4 stalks of celery
1/2 lb of bacon
2 cans of chicken broth

1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of flour
2 cups of milk
1 cups of shredded cheese

  • Cut bacon into small pieces (using kitchen shears, if you have them). Cook over medium heat until cooked thoroughly.


  • While bacon is cooking chop the vegetables to desired size and add to the cooking bacon. Saute with bacon for 5 minutes.

  • Add chicken broth to vegetables and bacon. Cover and cook on a low temperature for 1-2 hours.

  • About 20-30 minutes before serving, melt the stick of butter in a separate sauce pan, over low heat.
 
  • Add flour and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Stir in milk and cheese and continue to cook for another minute.


  •  Pour roux into vegetable mixture.

  • Stir and continue cooking another 20-30 minutes. 

  •  Serve and enjoy!
