YUMMY Soup

This recipe was SOOO good! I got so many people asking for it that I decided to make a blog post about it and give the recipe-I should have taken a pic!

mac+cheese soup

10 slices thick-cut bacon

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 14 oz. can vegetable broth

3 cups whole milk

1 Tbl. good-quality chili powder

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dry mustard

4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups dried elbow macaroni, cooked

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon, crumble, set aside

2.Add a little oil to the pan if needed, then add the onion. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the onion is soft and lightly browned, about another 5 minutes

4. Add the flour and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Then add the milk, chili powder, pepper, and mustard

5. Return the soup to a simmer while stirring occasionally. Cook for 3 minutes. Add cheese and bacon and continue cooking and stirring until well blended, about 4 minutes. Add the macaroni and return to simmer. Remove from heat and serve with parsley garnish.
