Directions for: Cream of Potato Bacon Soup

Ingredients

1 package bacon

3 drops Worcestershire sauce

2 stalks celery

1 cup leeks

1 can canned mushrooms

package Little Potato Company Baby Boomers

1 cups chicken stock

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

cup heavy cream

1 tsp basil, fresh or freeze-dried

3 dashes salt

3 dashes pepper

Directions

1. Heat a large frying pan on medium heat. (About a six). Put in all the bacon and cook until it is how you like it. When cooked, take off heat.

2. In a very large saucepan at the same heat, put in your butter and let it melt and then add the flour to make a roux. Mix together the two ingredients and let simmer for about a minute.

3. In your roux, add the heavy cream, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, vegetables and the pre-cooked bacon. Let soup boil and turn heat down to very low heat (about 2 or 3).

4. Let soup simmer until the veggies are tender which will take about half an hour, stirring occasionally and testing a few times. When the vegetables are tender, add the basil, salt and pepper.
