So...without further ado: Today's Post - Potato Bacon Soup!!
This is the easiest soup you will ever make - so try it!
Ingredients:
6 potatoes, chopped into small pieces
1/2 package of bacon
1 large onion, diced
2 celery sticks, diced
kernels from 1 cooked corn
900 ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp pepper
STEP 1:
Cook bacon; dry with paper towel
STEP 2:
Prepare celery, onions, bacon and corn
STEP 3:
In the same deep pot (to avoid too many dishes), add chopped onion; cook until browned
STEP 4:
Add vegetable stock; bring to a boil
STEP 5:
Add chopped potatoes; turn to medium heat and continue cooking until potatoes are tender
STEP 6:
Remove half of the potatoes temporarily and slightly mash the remaining soup to create a
creamy texture; add the rest of the potato pieces back in
(This doesn't look every appetizing but you just have to look at it briefly)
STEP 7:
Add chopped bacon, celery and corn; continue cooking on low until you are ready to eat!!!!
And that is it!! It is so quick and so easy to make! It is also very hardy and filling. It's a great soup to make a ton of and freeze into individual containers for lunches or dinners later on.
****I cooked the corn on the cob separately and then filed the kernels off and put them in the soup. Alternatively, you could probably file the kernels off without cooking it and just add them raw to the hot soup. OR you could just use a can of corn. Whatever you have will be just fine!!
NOW on a completely different note - I wanted to say 'without further ado' (as a I did up top) but I wasn't sure of the spelling so I looked it up and apparently people get 'ado' and 'adieu' mixed up....read on if you care.... So 'ado' means a flurry or fuss whereas 'adieu' means goodbye in French and has nothing to do with the phrase 'without further ado' UNLESS you want to say 'without further adieu, I'm out of here' ('without further goodbyes, I'm out of here') because there would never be a need to say without further goodbyes period - you need to finish the sentence. Just thought it was interesting. Google is great.
