I personally love Gumbo http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Big-Charlie鈥?/a> i don't know our recipe so follow that one, and I have a recipe for potato bacon and cheddar soup





Potato, Bacon and Cheddar Soup


Serves 4 as a starter, 2-3 as a main


5 slices of bacon, cut into strips


2/3 cup onion, fine dice


2 cloves garlic, fine dice


4 tbsp butter


3/4 cup flour(approx.)


2 cups chicken stock


2 cups 2% milk


2 cups potatoes, medium-small cubes


1 cup shredded old white cheddar


pinch each of cloves and nutmeg


Sautee bacon and onions until bacon has let off most of it鈥檚 fat into the pan and onions are translucent; add butter. Add garlic and sweat for 30 sec. Stir in flour to make a roux. Mixture should pull away from the pan. Slowly add chicken stock, stirring constantly. Once encorporated, stir in milk and add potatoes. Let simmer on medium-low for an hour, or until the potatoes are cooked through but are still pleasant to the bite. You will have to get up and stir this soup every so often as the roux DOES like to stick to the bottom of the pot, but that鈥檚 easy enough to fix by aggressive scraping with the spoon. Once the potatoes are cooked, check your seasoning and add cloves, nutmeg and pepper as needed. You probably won鈥檛 need to add any salt as the bacon will fix that for you but go nuts if you like to. I鈥檓 no one鈥檚 doctor. Add cheese and stir until melted.


Serve with crusty bread, soft snow and a warm pair of wool socks while pretending the world does not exist.
