Potato soup recipe can be made ahead and frozen

Dear Lisa: I am looking for a really good potato soup recipe. Can you recommend one? -- Camille

Dear Camille: This is a great recipe that features more than just potatoes. You can even serve it cold, and it freezes well if you want to make extra.

POTATO SOUP

* What you'll need:

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

2 carrots, grated

1 rib celery, finely chopped

1 turnip, peeled and diced

3 tablespoons minced onion

1 tablespoon dried vegetable flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

One and one half cups milk

One and one half cups sour cream

3 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

* How to do it:

In large pot, combine the first six ingredients and salt and pepper. Cover with water and simmer for 30 minutes. In another pan, melt butter and stir in the flour.

Add a small amount of liquid from the simmering potatoes to form a paste. Cool and stir in milk and sour cream.

When the vegetables are cooked, mash or puree them and add to flour and milk mixture. Heat, but do not boil.

Serve sprinkled with bacon. Makes 6 servings.
