Made Baked Potato Soup - who knew - this stuff is fantastic!! 5 medium size red potatos 1 cup of diced Celery & 1 tablespoon of celery seed 1/2 diced onion 1 Lb. bacon (freshly cooked & broken up) 2-1/2 cups 2% milk 2 cups Water or stock 1 stick of real butter Salt/pepper/celery seed to taste 1-Boiled the red potatoes (skin on) until soft, peeled and largely diced- set aside. 2-Sautee the onions and celery/celery seed in 1 stick of butter until beginning to brown/caramelize . 3 - Combined 2 cups of milk and 2 cup of water and simmer in large pot - then bring to a boil and add potatoes/celery/onions/bacon & salt & pepper to taste. 4-lastly combine a 1/2 cup of cold milk with 2-4 tablespoons of floor until all flour is dissolved - while soup is at a low boil, pour in and stir until soup thickens. Cool and refrigerate for tomorrow ;) FYI - this soup is best cooled/refrigerated and reheated to eat the next day. When youre ready to eat, dont forget to top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of scallions & shredded cheddar. Lastly - I do not usually measure anything so feel free to improvise :) ENJOY - I AM :)
