Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the bacon into small cubes and place it in a large saucepan along with some water.

Step 3

Reduce the water and brown the bacon. As the water evaporates, the bacon will release enough fat to continue cooking.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion.

Step 5

Also chop the celery.

Step 6

Add butter, finely chopped onion, and celery to the bacon.

Step 7

Season with salt and cook over low heat until tender, about three minutes.

Step 8

When the vegetables have softened, add the flour and cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. Then add the potatoes, diced into small cubes, bay leaf, milk, and broth. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

When the potatoes are tender, add the chopped seafood to the soup, bring to a boil, then stir in the cream, and cook for a couple more minutes.

Step 10

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
