    Country Potato Soup

    Recipe By : Cooking From Quilt Country, Marcia Adams, 1989
    Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : The Soup Pot

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    8 slices lean bacon
    1/4 cup chopped celery
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 medium potatoes -- peeled
    & cut in 1" cubes -- (about 3 cups)
    2 1/2 cups water
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg -- rounded
    1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram -- rounded
    (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon celery salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 cup milk
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley

    Chop the bacon coarsely. In a deep soup kettle, saute the bacon, celery, and onion over medium heat until the onion is golden, about 5 minutes., Add the potatoes, water, and seasonings; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Mash potatoes slightly-about one-quarter of the cubes should still be whole. Remove the bay leaf. Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley, and bring again to a boil. Serve hot.

    NOTES : Potato soup is a classic farm dish, and is made in many different ways: without meat, or with bacon, ham, or sausage. This one is rich and creamy, and flavored with bacon. I find it an immensely comforting soup.
