Ingredients

4 lbs potatoes diced

1.5 lbs onion diced

1.5 lbs celery diced

1.5 lbs carrot grated

2 tbsp chopped garlic

salt

pepper

3qts chicken stock

6 slices bacon chopped

2 sticks butter

8oz flour

1 pt half and half

8 oz cheddar cheese grated

3 bay leaves

2 tbsp dry parsley flakes

Cayenne Pepper

Directions

Cook the bacon slowly until crispy in a 12 qt stock pot

Leave in the drippings and the fat and add both sticks of butter. Allow them to melt and foam up a little, stirring every now and then.

Add in the flour and stir to form a roux. If it is a little thin, add more flower until you get a "wet sand" consistency. Cook for a minute or two stirring constantly.

Add chopped/shredded vegetables and garlic and cook for a minute or two. At this point, put in some salt and pepper

Slowly add in the chicken stock while stirring, and then slowly bring it up to a boil.

When boiling, add the potatoes and cook until they are done. If at this point the soup is too thick, add a little more stock until it is thinned out some.

Taste and re season, and add some cayenne and the parsley flakes.

Turn off the heat and add the cheddar cheese. When it is incorporated, add some half and half (anywhere from 4 to 8oz).

Nice I love soups like this. Bacon, cheese, potatoes, cream, 2 sticks of butter? you can't go wrong! Delicious - but not very dietetic!

Now - after making ... I used the bacon fat to make the roux with about 4 TB of flour, and will use 2% milk instead of 1/2 and 1/2. I think this is great! I can't wait to eat it. I'm making Red Lobster cheese biscuits to go along with this starch + cheese :) I'll be posting a picture soon too! Yum, thanks!
