Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons bacon grease

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock

  • 1 quart heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions

  1. Heat bacon grease and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, and parsley until onion is browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and pour in stock.
