Soups On!!!

" SIMPLY POTATO SOUP"

SUNDAYS...........

A DAY OF REST........(Ha)!

Today I did some dusting, Laundry, went to the grocery store......cleaned up tree limbs and took down the outside wreaths and garlands....swept the porch....made a potato soup and worked on the next BOM that will start soon.......so much for a day of rest!!!

Here is another soup recipe that I make often....Simple, but delicious!

SIMPLY POTATO SOUP

6 to 8 russet potatoes

1/2  chopped onion

Half pkg of Bacon

1 stick of butter or margarine

Milk

Peel and dice your potatoes . Put in soup pot with onion and enough water to cover potatoes.

Simmer until potatoes are tender. Drain some of the water from potatoes, leaving just a little of the liquid.

While potatoes are cooking, cut your bacon into pieces and saute in a fry pan until crisp.

Drain bacon onto a paper towel to remove most of grease and set aside.

Into cooked potatoes put the stick of butter, salt and pepper and enough milk to cover potatoes.

Bring to a simmer and if needed thicken with a mixture of flour and water . Add the bacon and serve with your favorite crusty bread or rolls.

I use russet potatoes because they seem to give the soup a creamy texture and I love the flavor of russets.

ENJOY!
