2 slices of Thick Bacon OR 1 T of Olive Oil
2 lbs Potatoes PRO TIP- Use Gold and shred them with the skin on, using a box grater!! Extra fiber and no change in texture or flavor of soup!!
2 Medium Parsnips, Shredded
2 Carrots, Shredded
2 Stalks Celery, Diced
1 Medium Onion, Diced
3 C Chicken or Vegetable Broth
1 C Milk
Cook bacon in dutch oven. Remove bacon and keep to the side. Sauté onion in 1 T of the bacon grease (OR olive oil), until translucent. Add in celery, carrots and parsnip, potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are soft. 15-20 minutes. Remove pot from heat, stir in milk. Crumble a small bit of bacon on top of each bowl for garnish You can easily omit the bacon, by using the olive oil instead.
TO USE AS A FULL LIQUID DIET ACCEPTABLE SOUP: If you have an immersion blender, use it to blend soup until creamy and smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender .. get one!! haha (but really!) OR you can carefully put your portion of soup into a regular blender until it's fully smooth.
I just figured out today how much easier it is to make this soup using a box grater to shred the veggies. It has changed the game for me LOL
