EASY CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP W/ CRISP BACON
This soup is fabulous, and much easier than the more complicated, time-intensive potato soup that I sometimes make. It is easy to throw together on a weekday night, or for lunch. You can, of course, use real potatoes (2 cups potatoes, skinned and cut into cubes), but I find it is even easier, and just as delicious, to use canned, sliced potatoes. It is a filling, creamy, and hearty soup, one that can easily be served alone for a complete meal. Although shared with me by my sister-in law, it actually originally came from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, and then has been adjusted by me. You will love this soup - as my husband says, "This soup is awesome!!!! "

EASY CHEESY BACON POTATO SOUP
This soup is quick and easy, and so delicious; the perfect soup for a cool Autumn day. I created the recipe one day when I had some leftover bacon, a hunk of smoked gouda, a few potatoes and some milk and cream that needed to be used soon, so... viola! A new soup! Don't forget the chives; they add another great level of flavor.

Steps:
- Gather and prep ingredients (shred cheese, peel and cube potatoes etc...)
- Pour 4 cups milk into a 2 or 3 quart saucepan; add cubed potatoes, 1 teaspoon sea salt and a grind of black pepper. Bring milk and potatoes to the boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Immediately reduce heat to low/medium-low. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Test a piece of potato with a fork to check for tenderness. When tender, remove from heat; stir in 2 cups cheese.
- When cheese has melted, stir in bacon pieces and 1/4 cup cream. Taste for seasoning; adjust accordingly, if needed.
- Ladle into bowls. Garnish with grated cheese, chives and bacon bits (the most important being chives.) Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers.
