Sylvia's Potato Soup

I got this recipe from Cristina who got it from her mother-in-law, Sylvia. It is fab-u-lous.

Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients:
1 medium to large Onion chopped
2 large ribs Celery chopped
1 small Turnip finely diced – Yes! A turnip – It isn’t the same without it – They are the purple and white ones, not the orange w/purple, those are rutabegas :)
2-3 cups Potatoes diced (2 good-sized bakers)
1 medium to large Carrot grated
3/4 cup Melted Butter
3/4 cup All purpose flour
1 quart Half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1 pound Bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions:
Place vegetables in large cooking pot. Cover with water and cook until tender - approximately 15 minutes after they come to a boil. Fry bacon and crumble. In a saucepan combine butter and flour; add half 'n' half and cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Mash vegetables. Add cream sauce to vegetables. Add remaining ingredients.
