Nana Joanns Potato Soup Recipes

NANA CAROL'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Boil potatoes and celery with water twice as high in the pot. Separately, dice and cook bacon. 2. Saute onions in bacon grease and strain. Add bacon and onions to pot and simmer. 3. Mix eggs and salt. Slowly add flour to egg mix while stirring. You want to add until you get thickness of cookie dough. These will make dumplings that will also thicken the soup. My family varies on size, here are a few techniques; 1) roll dough into a 1/2" rope and cut half inch pucks, 2) roll into balls, 3) pull or cut into irregular pieces. This could be fun job for the kids. At any rate, toss them in to bowling pot gradually so they don't clump together. 4. Add milk and and simmer to thicken, about 1/2 hour.
