Bundle up. :) <br /><br />My favorite potato soup (but not my husband's - he would like yours) is made by sauteing onions, celery, cut up bacon or smoked ham together until the bacon/ham is done (can add garlic if you wish). Add these ingredients and a little of the bacon drippings and cut up potatoes to hot chicken broth. Bring to boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender. Serve with salt, (fresh ground black) pepper, and crumbled bleu cheese. This tastes even better after it has been re-warmed. (I wait to salt the potatoes, because I never know how salty the ham or bacon or broth might be. Also depends on how much bacon or ham I use.)Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.com
