Gloomy, Rainy Sunday = Soup

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a relaxing Sunday since there was no Packer game today.  I got to spend the day with my mom and middle sister and her 3 boys.  I got to spoil her oldest, Jacob, with halloween cupcakes and a Diego Movie.  He told her when they got home that he wanted to come back tomorrow and she told him that she had to work and he didn't like that thought and I don't think she liked the thought of working either.  Oh how I love a 3 year olds mind.  So after they left I started prepping for the week to come and ended the day with Potato Soup.  I hope you enjoy this recipe.  I love it because it is very creamy and simple to make.

Potato Soup

6 slices of bacon, diced
3 cups of cubed peeled potatoes
1 can chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp celery seed, salt and pepper
3 tbsp four
3 cups milk
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed


1.  In a large sauce pan, cook the bacon until crisp; drain
2.  Add the potatoed, broth, onion, parsley, celery seed, salt, and pepper.  Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3.  Combine flour and milk until smooth; add to soup.  Bring it to a boil and then stir for 2 minutes.
4.  Add the cheese and stir until melted and then add the bacon back in and continue heating through.

This makes about 6-8 servings, so you might need to double if you want leftovers.

I hope you stay dry and warm tonight.  See you tomorrow.

Happy Halloween.

Kelly
