I came up with this recipe yesterday as I had a lot of milk about to go sour on me and I like to put it to good use before that happens. I really really liked this soup so I named it Connie's Country Soup.

How to Make Connie's Country Soup

Step-by-Step

Chop up the vegetables first.
Then, chop up turkey bacon also.
Microwave 3 large baking potatoes, one at a time with two very wet paper towels on top of each potato as it cooks for nine minutes each.
Let cool then peel and cut into very large chunks. Set aside.
Use medium size soup pot, add to the butter, all vegetables, and turkey bacon. Simmer and keep stirring for seven to ten minutes until tender.
Have a boiling cup of water ready with two chicken bullion cubes added in it to melt.
First, stir in the 1/2 cup flour.
Then the cup of broth.
Next, add 4 cups of milk and 1 cup sour cream.
Now add the potatoes, salt, and pepper. Put stove on low and heat until all is good and hot. Keeping on low heat as this is a rich soup.
Enjoyed this all by itself. I did not even add bread, crackers or cheese to this one. Hope you enjoy!
