Nana Joanns Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Boil potatoes and celery with water twice as high in the pot. Separately, dice and cook bacon. 2. Saute onions in bacon grease and strain. Add bacon and onions to pot and simmer. 3. Mix eggs and salt. Slowly add flour to egg mix while stirring. You want to add until you get thickness of cookie dough. These will make dumplings that will also thicken the soup. My family varies on size, here are a few techniques; 1) roll dough into a 1/2" rope and cut half inch pucks, 2) roll into balls, 3) pull or cut into irregular pieces. This could be fun job for the kids. At any rate, toss them in to bowling pot gradually so they don't clump together. 4. Add milk and and simmer to thicken, about 1/2 hour.

Steps:

• Add the bacon pieces to a soup pot over medium heat and cook until crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside. Pour off most of the grease, but do not clean the pot.
• Return the pot to medium-high heat and add the carrots, celery and onions. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or so, then add the diced potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with the Cajun spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook until the potatoes are starting to get tender, about 10 minutes. Whisk together the milk and flour, then pour the mixture into the soup and allow the soup to cook for another 5 minutes.
• Remove about half of the soup and blend in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Pour it back into the soup pot and stir to combine. Let it heat back up as you taste for seasoning, adding more of what it needs. Stir in the cream, then the parsley,
• Serve in bowls garnished with the grated cheese and crisp bacon pieces. The soup can also be frozen.
