  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • ¼ cup chopped mushrooms
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 4 cups peeled and diced white potatoes
  • ¾ cup water
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups rich milk

  • How To Cook:
    1. Cook the bacon in a 2½-to 3-quart casserole, uncovered, for 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, dip out the bacon pieces and reserve.

    2. Add the mushrooms, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and thyme to the bacon drippings. Stir, cover, and cook 4 minutes. Stir in the bacon pieces and the potatoes.

    3. Add the ¾ cup water. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven until barely tender (about 15 minutes), stirring several times.

    4. Mix a little of the milk with the flour until a thin paste is formed. Add the flour mixture to the milk. Stir it into the potatoes.

    5. Cover, cook in the microwave oven until the soup is thickened and the milk is hot (about 12 to 15 minutes), stirring several times to keep the flour in suspension.

    TIP:
        Float a pat of butter on each bowl of soup; sprinkle on a dash or two of paprika for that extra richness and color.
