Connie’s Country Potato Soup

Good, late morning to all.Last night was a very nice and cool night, here in North Florida. As, we have been having muggy days, it was a nice gift of weather.

I hope that you are well and hanging on, as I know the pressure may be getting higher. I can say that I am praying daily for you all, and I do include myself in there, also. I have a comfort food recipe, that I created and want to share with you, today. May it bring some comfort to you and your’s.

I do hope that you will try this one. I know that I will as soon as cold weather arrives and stays here in Florida. I also took this to a Community Dinner (way back) when we could have those things. The pot was scraped clean, with no left-overs.

And I am proud to say that this is the one recipe that gave me my first and only blue ribbon, but hey, it’s off my bucket list!

Now for the recipe. 3 large baking potatoes that are wrapped in 2 very wet paper napkins (each one). Microwave each potato for 9 minutes each, Test for doneness, with a fork. Set aside to cool.

1 stalk of celery-1 c. baby carrots 1 small package of turkey bacon and 1 small onion (chop everything). Saute all this with 1/4 c. of butter for 10 minutes. While this is sauteing, peel potatoes and cut into large chunks, and set aside.

Have a boiling cup of water ready and drop in 2 chicken bullion cubes to melt and set aside. Stir in 1/2 c. flour into veggies and turkey bacon. Now add in the hot water with bullion cubes and stir very well.

Add in 4 c. of milk and 1 c. sour cream (stirring well). Add 2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Now it’s time for the chunked potatoes to be gently lifted in and gently lifted to be mixed into the soup.

After sauteing the veggies and bacon, this recipe is cooked with a low heat setting (low and slow) while you are anticipating tasting it. It is worth the wait!

Sorry, this recipe was so long, I did shorten it as I typed it into this post. Basically, you need turkey bacn and 4 huge baking potatoes or equivalent in potatoes.(LARGE CHUNKS).

Most of us have the onion-carrots-sour cream and bullion cubes and milk around the house already, hopefully.

I post on Sat-Tue and Thursdays. So stay awhile with a cup of coffee and read some of my monthly archives, if you wish to. And remember to come back again to see what’s next. Even I do not know that, myself.
