1/4 pound Bacon, diced
1/4 cup Celery
3 Leeks
2 Tablespoons Flour
2 cups Water
2 cups Milk
2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Parsley, chopped
Recipe
Slice the leeks lengthwise. Remove the root end and most of
the green end. Slice the leeks across the grain and soak in
water until needed. Add the bacon pieces to a heavy
saucepan and cook until brown. Add the celery and leeks.
Cook until just soft. Add the flour and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the water and milk. Slowly bring to a boil. Reduce the
heat, add the potatoes and simmer for 1 hour (or until the
vegetables are tender). Check the seasonings. Serve warm,
garnished with parsley.
