Everyone that I know, makes potato soup different ways. This one is my favorite so far.

Potato Soup

Peel and cut potatoes into bite sized pieces, add onion, celery, and carrots. Boil until the potatoes are cooked thoroughly, but not mushy. Drain half of the water. Add 3 slices of cooked bacon, and a teaspoon of the grease, and salt and pepper. Add milk to cover. I use either cornstarch or instant potoes to thicken it.



I also know a guy who boils his potatoes in chicken broth. It's pretty good too.

Good camping food.

My MIL uses a stick of butter in her potato soup and no bacon. I like mine better.

I made my soup today, didnt stick to your recipe Peg as I didnt have all the ingredients so I just did what I had.

Potato, Suede, parsnip and carrot, diced small and cooked through. Fried some Streaky bacon in butter and added it to pan once id drained off some water, then I just chucked in the blender and added milk till the right consistency. Back on the stove I added seasoning's, such as celery salt, pepper and salt. Yum

Thanks Peg, sorted my dinner out in work for the next three days:-6
