Comment préparer Grandma's Potato Soup
- Fry 6 slices of chopped bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet. Set bacon aside and crumble when ready to serve.
- Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the skillet with bacon drippings. Sauté over medium heat until vegetables are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Continue to whisk constantly over medium heat until the sauce slightly thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the sautéed vegetables and 3 cups of cubed potatoes to the soup pot. Stir to combine.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth or water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon. Ladle soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
