RECIPE: COUNTRY POTATO SOUP

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

INGREDIENTS:
5 cups water
1/3 cup butter
1 Tbsp. parsley flakes
5 rounded tsp. chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon salt
pepper to taste
6 potatoes, peeled & cubed
1 stalk celery ~ sliced
2 onions, chopped
1 to 3 large carrots, peeled and diced
1 13-ounce can evaporated milk
crumbled bacon

DIRECTIONS:
Put all ingredients except evaporated milk into crock-pot.
Cook on high 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Add milk last
2 hours.

<Stovetop method>
Put water, butter, parsley flakes, bouillon, salt and pepper
into large pot and get heating while you prepare the potatoes.
When you put them in the boiling water, start timing: boil
20 minutes. Add celery, carrots and bacon 5 minutes after the
potatoes go in. Once potatoes are done pour in the can of
evaporated milk, and you've got a delicious dinner!

For thicker soup, before pouring in milk, mix about 1/2 cup
of cornstarch with enough cold water to make it pourable,
and slowly stir that into the boiling soup. It will thicken
quickly, than add the milk.
