Mom's Potato Soup
Ingredients:
6-8 russet potatoes
1 med-lg yellow onion, diced
1-2 stalks of celery, to taste
1/2 package of bacon, fried, or to taste
1 pint half & half
1-2 cups of milk
Parsley, to taste
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
Peel & cut into square little pieces 6 - 8 potatoes, and boil in salted water. Cut celery into small pieces and add to pot when potatoes are half done. Cook until just tender. Drain most, but not all, of the water off.
Cut bacon into small pieces. Fry the bacon in a separate pan, adding the onions when the bacon is almost done and cook until just tender. Add this to the potato pot.
Add half & half, milk, parsley, and salt and pepper to the pot. Heat on medium until hot. Don't let it boil. It should be creamy when done. (If it isn't thick enough for your taste, whisk a little flour and butter together in the bacon skillet and add to the pot).
If you want to turn it into CLAM CHOWDER, just add minced clams.
