Warning!!! This is a self made recipe, so you may not get the same results. :(
Ingredients:
12 Russett potatoe's cut into 1 1/2" squares
6 celery stalks cut into 1 1/2" slices
3 T. minced garlic
2 (1lb) pkgs thick sliced, smoked bacon cut into 1 1/2"
1 lb mozzerella cheese cut into 1" squares
3/4 c. flour
Milk
Garlic salt (by taste)
Course ground pepper (by taste)
You will need:
Stew pot
Frying pan
Slotted spoon
Knife
Cutting board
Ladel
Measuring cup
Place potatoe's, celery, minced garlic in the pot add water until it's about 2 inches over your vegtables. Boil until vegtables are fork tender (do not fret if some of your potatoe's break apart this actually enhances the flavor). Also, remember to watch your water level you want just enough to cover the vegtables so they don't scorch to the pan.
When your vegtable are done turn the heat to low and start frying your bacon until it's cooked properly. Add cooked bacon to the pot saving the grease. Pour the grease into a measuring cup adding the flour and stir well until there are no chunks. Slowly pour flour mixture into the pot while stirring your vegtables.
Now comes the hard part I forgot to measure exactly how much milk I poured into the pot, big mistake that is easily remedied. I generally add half a gallon (I have 5 people in my family who love potatoe soup and eat it like it's going out of style and usually someone shows up if they know I'm making soup). Continue cooking on a low heat for about 30 minutes or until soup is heated thru. Then add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Add cheese and cook another 10 minutes. Serve right away.
Hints:
Recipes are adaptable and meant to be played with so good luck.
When you have the finished result and you prefer thicker soup take some of the broth and add more flour to it stirring very well and slowly stir it back into the pot. If your family prefers thinner soup add a little more milk.
When I've made more then my family can eat I set some aside before adding the milk and cheese to freeze later. I freeze it in separate single serve containers. When you reheat it all you have to do is add a little milk and cheese and your ready to go.
My family likes it served with homemade garlic bread or BLT's.
You can also substitute the bacon for ham cut into 1 1/2" squares.
Like I said please keep in mind that this is a recipe I have made for years by heart so be kind if it doesn't turn out the way you expected and you can pm me anytime if you have trouble I can help you solve.
