Janelle's Tasty Tuesday: Baked Potato Soup

Ahhh…the smell of this soup will warmly greet your family at the door. There is something that is just so comforting about a bowl full of potato soup! I promise, this recipe will not disappoint you!

Ingredients

"prep work"- start chopping onions

Put aside in bowl your chopped onions, celery, and carrots

Fry your bacon on med/high heat until cooked through

Place bacon on plate covered with a paper towel to drain

Saute vegetables in the left over bacon grease- this will give the soup a nice bacon flavor

Peel potatoes- this takes only 5-8 mins

Let vegetables saute for about 5 mins until softened

cut potatoes

Add flour to the sauteed vegetables and wisk together to make a pasty consistency

Whisk in chicken broth

Add milk

Bring to a boil on stove. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 20 mins)

For garnish, I recommend adding a touch of shredded cheese, chopped green onions and bacon. Salt and pepper as desired.
