Yummiest Potato Soup Ever

Since the weather is turning cold, and warm food is so satisfying, I thought I would share my most favorite potato soup recipe.

Yummiest Potato Soup Ever

6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small-medium onion, chopped
8 ozs. heavy cream
1/2 cup butter or margerine (stick)
1 Cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
Salt
Pepper

1. Dice onion, and place in large pot with 1/2 of the stick of butter. Saute until onion is tender.
2. While onion is cooking, peel and cube potatoes.
3. Place potatoes in pot with onion, and fill pan with water until potatoes are covered.
4. Boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes, or until they reach desired tenderness
5. Pour out one half of water in pot.
6. Mash potatoes to desired consistency (I personally like it a little chunky).
7. Mix in heavy cream, remaining butter, and bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste.

You can also add other favorite ingredients, such as cheese or green onions, to make the soup just the way you like it! It is best enjoyed with some freshly baked crusty french rolls!

** if the soup is too thick, you can add milk in 1/4 cup increments until it reaches desired thickness
** if the soup is too thin, you can add dehydrated potato flakes to thicken it.
