Best Potato Soup Ever

I've made this about 10 times. It's a very good, "loaded potato" soup. I've added my personal tips and suggestions to assure yours comes out as good as mine!

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

Cooking time :

1 hour

6 slice

chicken broth, 14.5 oz. (I always have to add an extra 8 oz)

1/2 tsp

EACH, celery seed, salt, pepper

3 cup

processed cheese, cubed (Velveeta)

1/2 cup

green onions, chopped (optional)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In the vessel you are going to make your soup in, Cook diced bacon until extra crisp, remove and drain excess fat from vessel. (I reserve about a tablespoon of grease to add back at the end!)

* Step 2

Add cubed potatoes, onion, carrot, seasonings and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender

* Step 3

While the soup is simmering, mix the milk and flour until well incorporated. I actually use an immersion blender (stick blender). Make sure heat is low. Add SLOWLY to soup mixture. I actually temper the milk by adding some hot broth to it first before adding the whole thing in to prevent the milk from curdling.

* Step 4

Slowly increase heat to medium, stirring on a regular. Once the soup has hit a higher SIMMER, NOT boil, stir constantly for 2 minutes to thicken. This prevents it from "breaking."
