Sour Cream Potato Soup
Recipe By: Yvonne Ditchey - Friend
Servings: 4

1/4 pound bacon -- diced
1 medium onion -- diced
2 stalks celery -- diced
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
3 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
4 large potatoes -- chopped
1 1/2 cups sour cream

Cook the bacon pieces in a heavy soup pot until they start to brown. Add the onion and celery and cook just until soft. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 3 minutes. Add the water and broth. Add the potatoes and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft (about 30-40 minutes.) In a separate bowl, ladle in 2 cups of the soup broth. Whisk the sour cream into broth until blended. Whisk the mixture back into the soup. Heat for 3 minutes longer. Adjust seasonings and serve warm.

Note: Great for those long winter nights ahead!
