Ingredients:
- 1 tb. coarsley ground pepper
- 2 cups of heavy cream or milk (and you can use 2 tb butter mixed with 2 tb flour, fried in a pan and add 2 cups of milk to this, wisking well .. a cream sauce to be added to the finished soup for thickening added along with the milk) see comment be
- before serving, taste your soup and at that time, you can add more pepper or salt. if you're serving the soup with a salty bread or with salted crackers
Directions:
- In a large, heavy pot, quickly fry the bacon slices until they are lightly browned, with medium-high flame.
- Add onions, celery and carrots.
- Fry and stir for five minutes and then add the potato cubes and stir until well mixed.
- Add the pepper and garlic and cook for one minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock and cover the pot and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low flame and cook for 20 minutes.
- Using a wisk, add the cream cheese and incorporate the cheese into the soup.
- Add the milk or cream and mix well.
- Using a high flame, bring the mixture almost to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.. cover pot.
- If you want to add the white sauce, you can do that at this time for a thicker soup.
- Remove from heat and serve.
- Suggested toppings: Chopped crispy bacon, oyster crackers, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions or even crushed Fritos or tortilla strips.
- Comment: I've tried several potato soup recipes over the years. Everything from Amish recipes to someone's grandmother's recipe. I either make a cream sauce out of the flour, butter and milk to add to the soup near the end of the cooking time or add plain cream or milk, whichever I have in the fridge, to make a creamy-style of soup. If you mash up some of the vegetables while you're cooking the soup,. you'll also have a creamy base for the soup. Potatoes are a natural thickening agent anyway. YOu can always add some leftover mashed potatoes to your soup about 10 minutes before serving and mix them in well.
- Also, you do not need to add either the cream cheese or the milk. The soup is great without any dairy at all. Try that sometime. Its delicious!
- If you like a thicker soup, try adding potato flakes in small amounts to your soups right before serving.
