ISO potato soup

[Dina]

My family is craving potato soup with a bacon flavor--perhaps a baked potato soup. Does anyone have a recipe for it?

[Alix]

Hmmm...no recipe really. I would just bake the potatoes and buzz them with some chicken broth or cream and toss in some bacon bits. Sounds lovely Dina, let us know what you come up with.

Cheesey Bacon potato soup:

16oz Velveeta cheese (1/2 a block), cubed
8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1/2 package of bacon, crisped and crumbled
salt and pepper to taste
1tsp sugar

Take a stock pot, put in diced potatoes and just enough water to cover the tops of the potatoes (this is critical, don't put in too little or too much). Boil potatoes until good and soft, turn burner to low heat and slowly begin adding cubed cheese, stirring as you go until all the cheese is incorporated. Then add bacon, salt and pepper, and sugar. Cook on very low heat for another 20 minutes, then serve.
Tasted even better the next day!

(cooked of course) to the whole deal. lots of pepper, salt to taste and there u are.
