Here's my potato soup recipe--you know me--terrible with amounts. I just go by looks and taste.
4-5 red or Yukon golden potatoes;
1 lb bacon;
carrots, diced
celery, diced
onion, diced
salt and pepper;
3-4 c chicken broth;
butter;
flour;
heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk;
sage (and any other herbs you desire);
salt and pepper to taste, cheddar cheese.
Garnish: scallions, cheddar cheese, bacon
Drizzle 4-5 potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper- wrap each in foil. Bake in oven until just tender- about 1 hour. Brown bacon. Drain off fat, reserving 2-3 T of grease. Meanwhile, chop carrots, celery, and onions. Brown veggies in reserved grease until just tender and seasoned. Add chicken broth (2-3 c depending on your desired consistency). Add desired seasonings and potatoes. Bring to a simmer, cooking potatoes and veggies until tender and broth is almost absorbed. Can refrigerate at this step until ready to serve.
Mash the potatoes and veggies roughly with a potato masher. Create a well in the center of your potatoes or in a separate pan-melt 2 T butter. Add 2 T cream and 2 T flour. This will create a roux. Add this to your potato mixture. Add more chicken broth and cream until desired consistency. Sprinkle a small amount of cheddar cheese in soup. Bring to a simmer and then serve immediately. Garnish with crumbled bacon, scallions, and cheese.
