Prep: 10min

Total: 30min

Yield: 12 serving(s)

Ingredients:

• 6 slices thin bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 whole medium onion, diced
• 3 whole carrots, scrubbed clean and diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 6 whole small russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 8 c. low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

• 1/2 c. heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp. salt, more to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 tsp. Cajun spice mix
• 1 tsp. minced fresh parsley
• 1 c. grated cheese of your choice

Instruction:

1. Add bacon pieces to a soup pot over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp and fat is rendered. Remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside. Pour off most of the grease, but do not clean the pot.
2. Return the hot to medium-high heat and add the onions, carrots, and celery. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or so, then add the diced potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Cajun spice.
3. Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to get tender. Whisk together the flour and the milk, then pour into the soup and allow the soup to cook for another 5 minutes.
