MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Dolly Parton's Stampede Soup Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Dairy Yield: 6 servings 4 c Chicken stock 1 Bay leaf 1 ts Onion powder 1 ts Garlic powder 1 ts Kosher salt 1/2 ts Ground black pepper 1/4 c Corn starch 1/4 c Water 2 c Heavy cream 2 c Frozen mixed vegetables; - partially thawed 2 tb Fresh parsley; fine chopped, - garnish In a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine the chicken stock, bay leaf, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then, bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. In a small glass measuring cup, dissolve the corn starch into the water, whisking together until lump-free. Once the seasoned stock is simmering, whisk the corn starch slurry and heavy cream into the pot, and mix until smooth. Add the vegetables to the soup (you can roughly chop them into smaller bite-sized pieces if yours are on the larger side). Bring the soup back to a simmer and then let cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Once thickened, remove the bay leaf and then stir in the fresh parsley. Ladle into bowls and serve hot (preferably alongside a batch of Dolly's famous buttermilk biscuits). Enjoy! Editor's tip: If your soup thickens too much, you can thin the soup with a little milk or additional chicken stock until it reaches your desired consistency.
