400 Watt Soup
Ingredients:
4 pounds red potatoes
2 sweet yellow onions
1\2 pint heavy cream
1\2 pound sharp cheddar cheese- shredded
1-quart chicken stock
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1-2 tablespoons sweet dairy butter
3-4 tablespoons bud butter
1\2 pound bacon
1 can of beer or port
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Directions:
Bring the chicken stock to a boil then simmer. Add the sprigs of fresh thyme. Wash, peel, and rough chop the potatoes. Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Caramelize (slow sauté) the onions (chopped) in the butter with salt and pepper. Add the onions and butter to the stock. Rinse the potatoes in cold water and add them to the stock. Slow simmer for two hours.
Add the beer, then the cream. Using a hand mixer (I call mine the "boat motor") blend the ingredients and simmer for another thirty minutes. Do NOT let the soup boil after the cream has been added! Add the cheddar cheese and blend once again.
Serve with crispy bacon and parsley as garnish.
Yum!
