Ground Chicken and Potato Soup


This is a soup I remember when I was a child.  Even though my mother says that she doesn't remember making it.  It's pretty simple to make.  I didn't have a recipe to go from since mom can't remember making it.  Here is the closest thing I can come up with that makes me think of Mom's soup.

You start by browning a pound of ground chicken or turkey in your Staub pot over medium to medium high heat and add salt and pepper.  Yes, you can use ground beef.  That's what Mom used.  Once the ground meat of choice is browned remove and set aside.  Don't turn the heat down. Now, put in 4 slices of bacon and cook until crisp.  Remove the bacon and add 3 rounded tablespoons of flour.  Stir constantly until the flour browns and add 1 cup of white wine while stirring constantly.  Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring.  Add the water, potatoes, ground meat, bay leaves and salt and pepper to taste.
(You can just eat the bacon or crumble it into the soup with some green onion)

Ingredients:
1 Pound of Ground Meat
4 Slices of Bacon
5 Large Red Skin Potatoes
1 Large container of Chicken Broth
4 Cups of Water
2 Bay Leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste
