Hello from North Florida on this cold and frosty morning. I hope that you are all warm and toasty. As I, sit here looking out at frosted roofs that are all around me.
Maybe this time it will finally run the crickets under-ground if that is where they go for winter-time. It has been weird to hear the crickets, still singing away, in Florida. Like a summer night sound. It just doesn’t quite match up with the cold days and nights, that we have been seeing.
Here is a recipe that will warm you up from your toes to your nose. I hope that you will try it. This makes a big pot for a pot-luck meal. And I made this in a cast iron, dutch oven. Which, alas has grown too heavy for me now in my golden years.
Ingredients are 3 huge baking potatoes and 1 stalk of celery
1 c of baby carrots and 2 chicken bullion cubes (smashed) 4c milk and 1c water
1/2c flour and 1c sourcream
1 small package of turkey bacon and 1/4 c butter
1 small onion chopped and2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper
Wash and poke whole into the potatoes, no need to peel them yet.
Put 1 potato on a plate and wet 2 paper towels to drape over the potato and microwave for 9 minutes (until done. Do the same for each potato.
Chop up all vegetables and also chop up the turkey bacon into small pieces.
Let potatoes cool and then peel them. Cut into very large chunks and set aside.
Boil the 1c of water for the bullion cubes to be dropped into.
Use a large soup pot and add the butter, turkey bacon and, all vegetables. Simmer and stir for 10 minutes, until tender.
The next step is to add in the flour and stir in, well. Add the cup of broth. Stir in the 4c of milk and 1 c of sourcream.
Add in the salt and pepper. Add in the big potato chunks and cook on a low heat, as this soup is rich and heartily thick. Just lift the soup for stirring so that you will not break up the potatoes. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes on #3 low setting, just to let everything incorporate all their flavors together. Let’s Eat!
This would be great with home-baked bread or even store-bought
Stay awhile and browse through my recipes if you wish and do share them with your friends. I will post again on Tue-Thur- and Saturday so come back for more, if you wish.
Thank you for your visit today! Connie B.
