3	TXDISNEYNERD Mon 6/23/2008 1:42p	I actually had the recipe in my purse today as I wanted to make a copy of it for my scrapbook. 4 lg russet potatoes (peeled and small diced) 4 med Red Potatoes (small diced) 6 oz (2 large stalks) Celery (small diced) 6 oz (1 large or 2 small) carrots (peeled and small diced) 1 med yellow onion (small diced) 2 oz unsalted butter 1 lb. bacon (rough chopped) (*tip: place slices of bacon in the freezer for 20-30 min to make it easier to cut. Will slip less) 16 oz chicken stock or vegetable stock 32 oz heavy whipping cream 2 oz flour 1 oz vegetable oil salt/pepper to taste *small dice= 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. Garnish with chives, bacon bits, sour cream, and shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheese if desired. Procedure: 1. Place stock pot (6-8 quart pot) over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil, butter and bacon. Start rendering the bacon (process of releasing the fat through cooking). The bacon will start to release its fat. Do not allow it to burn. 2. Cook bacon till crispy, remove and set aside on a paper towel: leaving the fat from the bacon in the pan. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Traditionally these 3 items are called the MIREPOIX. Sweat the mirepoix until the onions turn translucent. Add potatoes and cook for 4 minutes. Add the flour to make roux. Cook roux until blond in color (about 5 to 7 minutes) while stirring constantly. Add chicken stock and half of the bacon back into the pan (Reserve the rest of the bacon for garnish) Season with salt and pepper. 3. Turn the heat to medium high, bring the soup up to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and tender. mash some of the potatoes for thicker, creamier texture. Add whipping cream and simmer for 5 minutes. 4. You can adjust the thickness by adding water or stock for a thinner soup. It should have a creamy consistency. Adjust your seasoning. 5. Garnish with your desired toppings. Good luck. I haven't tried this yet, but it was a real pleasure meeting Oscar.
