Directions:
Saute the vegetables in a little oil or start with the chopped bacon and sweat out some fat then add the vegetables. |
Add the potatoes and water. simmer till the potatoes are tender about 15-20 min. You can now add the milk, season with salt and pepper bring to a simmer and thicken with the slurry. Cook for another 5 minutes till it completely thickens. Adjust the texture to how you like it Adding water or milk if it needs it. |
Here is an alternative way to thicken the soup. Do not use slurry. Take half to 3/4 of the potatoes and vegetables and some of the soup and put them in a blender. |
Blend them in a blender for a good 2 minutes until they get very glossy and thick. Then return to the pot for a very nice texture. BE CAREFUL and start blender on low. cover top with a towel and hold tight! |
The soup is ready to eat. Great with crackers or bread and a salad. |
