This is a great winter favorite and it is very warming to the belly. Ingredients:
3 slices bacon, diced |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups chicken broth |
2 large potatoes, baked, peeled and cubed |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
shredded cheddar cheese |
minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoons drippings. Set bacon aside. Saute onion and garlic in drippings until tender. Stir in flour, salt, basil and pepper; mix well.
2. Gradually add broth, bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, cream and hot pepper sauce; heat through but do not boil. Garnish with bacon cheese and parsley.
3. (I tend to make this in the crock pot. I think it tastes a lot better!).
