RECIPE ROUNDUP

Good afternoon kittens! I want to introduce you to a new occasional feature called Recipe Roundup. In this feature, I'll share recipes that I have created or found that I love. So here we go!

Creamy Potato Soup
This hearty comforting soup is perfect on those cold winter days when the snow is piling up and the wind is howling outside. Serve this soup with a hunk of warm crusty french bread and you're set with a bowl licking meal.
Ingredients:
3-4 pounds Yukon potatoes, peeled and sliced
5 carrots peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons powdered chicken soup base
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
8 oz sour cream
1 pound bacon, chopped and fried crisp
1 medium onion chopped
salt
pepper
milk
water
1/3 block Velveeta cheese cubed or 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated

Using a 5 quart stock pot, fill 3/4 full with sliced potatoes. Add water just to cover potatoes and powdered chicken soup base and bring to a boil on high heat. Once boiling reduce heat to simmer and add sliced carrots.
While potatoes are cooking, fry bacon in large skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and reserve on paper towel lined plate. In rendered bacon fat, cook onion over medium low heat until soft.
Cook potatoes and carrots until water has reduced and broth is thick. Add cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup and sour cream. Stir until soup returns to a simmer. Stir in bacon, cheese, onion and salt and pepper to taste. Once cheese is melted, ladle into wide serving bowls and use crusty french bread to clean the bowl.

I hope anyone who tries this enjoys and I would love to hear your comments and to see your favorite recipes. I'm always looking for new foods to try!
