How To Make potato soup

  • Step 1
    In a large pot, boil potatoes in water 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In sauté pan cook bacon until crisp. Drain bacon fat and place on paper towel over plate to drain more. Add onion and celery to bacon pan over medium-high heat until celery is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    In the large potato pan add milk, water, bullion, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is very hot, about 8 minutes stirring often. DO NOT let mixture boil.
  • Step 4
    In a small heavy saucepan melt butter. Add flour and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture bubbles, stirring 2 to 3 minutes to make a roux. While constantly stirring soup, add roux slowly until soup is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Stir in parsley, reserved potatoes and cream. Garnish with cheese, bacon bits, onions or all three and serve hot!
