Canadian Cheese Soup

Flavorful
Description

My family loves Canadian bacon, but I don't run across a lot of dishes that call for it. Everyone was thrilled the first time I offered this succulent soup. —Jolene Roudebush,

Ingredients
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 6 ounces canadian bacon, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions
  1. In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, combine the first 5 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are very tender. With a potato masher, mash vegetables several times. Add Canadian bacon; continue to simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Add vegetable mixture, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; add cheese and pepper. Stir just until cheese is melted.

Jambalaya With Garlic Shrimp and Sauteed Chicken

Jambalaya utilizes the holy trinity of Cajun cooking; celery, onions and Bell peppers as many of their dishes do. But we add a new twist to the dish by using garlic shrimp, sauteed chicken and adding Jalapeno pepper to enhance the flavor. We also cook the rice in the sauteed vegetables as in risotto, and add back the sauteed chicken and garlic shrimp about ten minutes from the end so that the flavors mingle but the chicken and shrimp don't overcook. This way we get a very tasty, fresh and clean tasting jambalaya that is a fusion of different cooking styles, seafood and meat.
