Here's the recipe:
Grandma's Potato Soup
4 Large Potatoes
4 Tablespoons minced celery
2 Tablespoons minced onion
2 Tablespoons grated carrots
4 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons white vinegar
4 Tablspoons flour
3 cups half & half
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
2 Tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked
2 Tablespoons chopped green onion cooked (optional)
Peel potatoes & chop them into bite size pieces, about 7-8 cups. Combine all vegetables with chicken stock & vinegar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the stock to a boil, then turn down the heat. Cover the pan & simmer for about 20 minutes. Whisk together the flour & milk in a medium bowl.
Remove the saucepan of vegetables from the heat & add the flour & milk mixture. Put the pan back on the heat & simmer uncovered, for 5-8 minutes or until thickened.
Add 2 cups shredded cheese to the soup and simmer until melted & the soup is as thick as you like it. To serve, spoon the soup into bowls, top each bowl with crumbled bacon, cheese & green onion. (I always add the bacon right to the soup) yummmm :)
