Don't drink the wine while your making this soup. I once drank the wine while I was cooking and added too much cheese. Oops! It took me over 12 years to find a recipe.
Ingredients:
8 red potatoes, washed, unpeeled
1 onion, chopped
1 quart half-and-half, divided
2 stalks celery, chopped
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 lb bacon, crispy fried, chopped
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom & garlic soup
4 tablespoons fresh parsley
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2-1 cup white wine
Directions:
1. Sauté celery and onion in 1 TBS of bacon grease.
2. Add bacon, celery, onion, thyme, salt, pepper, chicken bouillon cubes, all but 1 C of the half-n-half, and all of the white wine to chopped potatoes.
3. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and boil.
4. During the last 15 minutes of cooking the potatoes, remove 1/2 of the soup and mash in a food processor until it is a mashed potato consistency. Return to pot.
5. Add the parsley, can of creamed soup and the remainder of half-n-half.
6. Cook for another 15 minutes.
