This is an old fashion recipe my mother made about once a month back in Michigan. Very satisfying!
Ingredients
- 1 small bag of gold or red potatoes cut into small bite size pieces (with skins) shopping list
- 1 large white onion, chopped shopping list
- 1 package of onion soup mix shopping list
- 1 1-lbs package of bacon, cut into small bite size pieces, fried until crisp shopping list
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley shopping list
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour shopping list
- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 1 teaspoon Lawry’s season salt (or regular salt) shopping list
- ½ teaspoon pepper shopping list
- 1 small package of shredded mild cheddar cheese (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- In a large soup pot, add cut potatoes, chopped onion, onion soup mix, dried parsley flakes and enough water to cover. On high heat bring a boil, then cover and reduce head to medium for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- In a shaker, add milk and flour, shake until well blended, set aside.
- In a non stick skillet, fry bacon until crisp, drain on a paper towel. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease, reduce heat to low.
- Add milk and flour mixture and stir well with bacon grease. Increase heat to medium low, stirring constantly until thick and creamy.
- When potatoes are tender, add thickening, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients, making soup rich and creamy. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Options: Ladle soup into serving bowl and add desired amount of cheese. Also good served with Cheese It or Goldfish crackers.
- Variations: Use ham or polish sausage in place of bacon (use 2 T butter in place of bacon grease.)
