POTATO SOUP WITH HAM 6 med. potatoes, chopped 1 med. onion 1/2 RE: Potato Soup Recipes Post By Debbie (Guest Post) (05/05/2005) I've had great luck with the potato cheese soup recipe in Desperation Dinners by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross. (Check your library and remember to ask about inter-library loans.) RE: Potato Soup Recipes Post by gardencraft (33) | (05/05/2005) Contact This is my favorite soup for those soon to come crisp, autumn days. I usually double the recipe when I make it, it takes a good part of an hour to make. Make sure you use baked potatoes, as the taste is not the same if you do not. BAKED POTATO SOUP 2 Large Baked Potatoes with Skins 2 Chopped Green Onions Tops Included or &frac; Tablespoon Onion Powder 1 Tablespoon Butter 4 Slices Cooked and Chopped Bacon 1/4 Teaspoon Minced or Powdered Garlic 1/2 Teaspoon Parsley Flakes Celery seed to taste WHITE SAUCE 2 Tablespoons Butter 1 1/2 Tablespoons Flour 2 1/2 Cups Milk 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper BAKE POTATOES. DICE TWO AND MASH THE REMAINING TWO, LEAVING SKINS ON DICED POTATOES. WHILE WAITING FOR POTATOES TO BAKE - IN ONE PAN IN THE TABLESPOON OF BUTTER, SAUTÉ THE BACON, ONION, GARLIC, AND SEASONINGS; A NONSTICK FRYING PAN WORKS BEST FOR THIS STEP. TO MAKE THE WHITE SAUCE; IN A 2 QUART SAUCEPAN OVER LOW HEAT STIR THE TWO TABLESPOONS OF BUTTER AND FLOUR UNTIL BUBBLING BROWN. REMOVE FROM HEAT AND GRADUALLY ADD MILK, STIRRING UNTIL SMOOTH AFTER EACH ADDITION. (A WIRE WHISK USED SLOWLY WORKS BEST FOR THIS.) RETURN TO MEDIUM HEAT STIRRING CONSTANTLY AND BRING TO BOIL. TO THE WHITE SAUCE MIXTURE ADD POTATOES, CELERY, AND BACON MIX. COVER AND SIMMER 5 - 7 MINUTES. STIR AND SERVE, TOPPING WITH GRATED CHEDDAR CHEESE IF DESIRED. RE: Potato Soup Recipes Post by darlin daisy (3) | (05/03/2005) Contact hi Jodi,,,here's one that my family grew up on and comes home asking for more... Peel 10-12 medium -to- large sized potatoes and cut into lg chucks Place pototoes in at least 2-3 quarts water & boil. Make sure the potatoes are covered with water and has at least 2-3 inches of water over the top of the potatoes. This depends on how much soup you will need.Add to boiling potatoes...about 2 tbsp (real) butter, t tbsp onion powder, 1 1/2 tbsp celery salt, 1 tsp salt and pepper to taste. When tender enough to stick a fork through, remove half of the potatoes from water...and place in lg bowl. Leave other potatoes in pan and turn heat to low. Mix potatoes in bowl with about 1 tsp butter, 1/4 c. corn meal and salt and pepper to taste. Mix till creamy, but not thin...return to pan with other potatoes and water. Return to a simmering boil. Add 1 cup (2% or whole) milk and return to a boil.Stir often. Continue to simmer...will thicken as it cooks so watch carefully. I always add fresh parsley (chopped) and chives (after adding milk)...before serving, I add bacon bits and place shredded cheddar cheese...sharp....on the table for those who like cheese. Some in my family have not acquired the taste for cheese. I add different spices at times...depending on which part of the family comes home. Also, my husband loves for me to add sliced flour tortilla shells. Once added to the boiling soup after adding milk, they turn into dumplings while cooking. I also use these in my chicken-n-dumplings instead of making my own dumplings, for a quicker version. Really good. Hope you enjoy.
