Potato Stoup

So this is a thicker soup, I like them a little thicker but if you want it more soupy add more liquids or less potatoes!

**Picture coming soon...I ate it before I took a pic =p**

Ingredients:

4 slices of bacon, cut

4 medium sized potatoes cubed, you can peel them but I like the skin

1 (14oz) can low sodium chicken broth

2 1/4 milk

1/2-1cup shredded cheese + some for garnish

~1tbsp butter, I used my country crock spread

salt and pepper to taste

cap full of dried chopped onions (all I had on hand, but I'm sure it would be better with fresh onions)

1/4 tsp minsed garlic

dash cayenne pepper *optional*

Directions:

In soup pot or dutch oven brown bacon. Once browned remove and place on plate with paper towel, it will be sued for garnish.

In bacon drippings add onion, garlic, and potatoes. Let cook about 5 mins. Add chicken broth and milk. Cook until potatoes are mash-able. Mash potatoes to consistency of your liking. Add salt and peppers to taste. Stir in cheese and butter. Serve with garnish of cheese and bacon.

I took this from a baked potato soup recipe, you can certainly add sour cream and bake the potatoes instead of boiling them, I just used what I had on hand and I didn't want to wait for the potatoes to bake =p
