What usually starts out as my normal potato soup, it eventually turns into this. My husband loves to cook right along side of me, and you never know what he's going to throw in the pot. Thankfully it always turns out sooooo good:o) Ingredients:
5 to 6 medium to large potatoes, peeled & cubed |
1lb bacon, fried and chopped |
1/2 of a large red onion chopped |
6 tbsp. butter |
6 tbsp. flour or cornstarch mixed with some water |
1/2 gal. milk |
2 cans regular style corn |
salt & pepper |
nutmeg (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large pot boil the potatoes just till tender.
2. While the potatoes are boiling fry up the bacon till crisp; set aside and reserve a couple of tablespoons of bacon grease.
3. Drain potatoes in a strainer & let sit.
4. In the bottom of the potato pot melt butter and add reserved bacon grease.
5. Saute onion till tender.
6. Whisk in the flour till combined; and gradually add about 1 cup of milk.
7. Whisk until thickened
8. Add the drained potatoes and remaining milk.
9. Let simmer, but do not boil. Until it's heated through.
10. About 5 to 10 minutes before serving chop up the reserved bacon, add to the pot along with the corn.
11. Season with salt & pepper
