The Machine Shed's Baked Potato Soup Ingredients 2 1/1 lbs. Baby Red Potatoes (quartered) 1/2 lb. raw bacon (diced) 1 Jumbo Yellow Onion (diced) 1/4 Bunch Celery (diced) 1 quart water 2 ounces Chicken Base 1 quart Milk 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Black Pepper 1 1/2 Sticks Margarine 6 ounces Flour 1 C. Whipping Cream 1/4 Bunch Chopped Parsley Directions Boil Potatoes in water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large, heavy pot, sauté bacon, onions, and celery over medium-high heat until celery is tender. Drain bacon grease and return bacon, onions, and celery to pot. Add milk, water, chicken base, salt and pepper. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Do Not Boil. In a heavy, large saucepan, melt margarine and add flour (called a roux). Mix well. and allow to bubble, stirring for 1 minute. While constantly stirring soup, add the flour & margarine mixture (roux) slowly. Continue stirring soup until thick and creamy. Stir in potatoes and parsley. Serve while hot. Garnish with shredded Colby cheese, fried bacon bits, and chopped green onions or all three. My personal suggestion: all three is the best. ~~~~~~~~~~ Rhonda G in Missouri Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/a_place_for_chatting_and_friends/ Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/awesomeswapsandmore/?yguid=301586139 Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rhondas_Recipe_Exchange/?yguid=301586139 Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JustSwaps4USFriends/ All are looking for new members!!! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight's top picks.
