Ingredients
-
5 lbs potatoes
-
2 cups baby carrots
-
3 -5 celery ribs
-
2 cups milk
-
3/4 cup half-and-half
-
6 ounces cream cheese
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
salt
-
pepper
-
1 lb fried cooked bacon (crisp and broken in bite size peaces)
-
4 -5 green onions with tops, topping (chopped)
-
1 (8 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, shreads topping
Instructions
- Peel and cut up the potatoes.
- Cut the half carrots in half.
- Cut up the celery into bit size pieces.
- Let boil until all are tender.
- Drain and put all the cooked veggies back into the pot.
- Now add the butter, 1/2 the milk, half and half and cream cheese into the veggies.
- Use a mixer to make the veggies like mashed potatoes.
- Add rest of the milk and cream until you get the desired consistency you want the soup -- I like it a bit thick, not really thin soup.
- When you get it to the way your family likes it, then add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Taste and adjust accordingly.
- Let simmer for 15 minutes.
- Now you are ready to top it with what you like.
- Enjoy.
