3 ea Bacon slices, diced
1/2 c Onion, minced
1/2 c Celery, minced
2 c Water
3 ts Chicken boullion
2 c Potatoes, minced
2 c Milk*
2 c Mocha mix or cream*
3 ea Cans cream style corn
2 tb Margarine
* Can use nondairy liquid creamer either in whole or partly cut with
water to make the total 4 cups liquid needed if necessary to avoid
dairy products.
Fry diced bacon until crisp, remove from pan. Add minced onion and
celery to bacon grease and saute until limp. Combine above in slow
cooker pot with water, boullion, potatoes, margarine and cream style
corn. Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours. Add milk and cream, cook
1/2 hour more or until heated through.
Notes: Can use chicken stock to replace water and bullion cubes.
Mocha mix makes this soup extremely rich tasting, and the Mocha mix
does not curdle with high heat like regular milk or cream.
Can also be made on the stovetop. Instead of placing in the slow
cooker, simmer on the stovetop until potatoes are tender. Add the
milk, cream, or liquid nondairy creamer and heat through. Serve
immediately.
