Warm, easy and Yummy!






Potato Soup
------------------
Potatoes (red or baking)
Milk
Carrots (I buy the already shredded ones)
Celery
Onion
Bacon
Garlic powder
Pepper
Chicken Stock or Bouillon

Slice bacon and put in the bottom of a stock pot with the sliced celery and sliced onion. Cook until bacon is crisp. Drain the fat. Optional: to peel the potatoes. Cut into 1 in cubes. Return bacon mixture to big stock pot with the potatoes. Add milk, carrots, garlic and enough stock or bouillon to salt to taste. Bring to a boil and boil until potatoes are tender. Remove about 1/4 to 1/3 of the soup and puree in a food processor or the blender. Return to pot. Stir well and serve.
