Steps:

• Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (it will take about 10 minutes to reach a boil).
• Once it reaches a boil reduce heat to medium and continue to cook about 15 - 20 minutes longer until potatoes are very soft when pierced with a fork.

• Once potatoes are soft add thickened milk mixture to potato soup mixture and stir (potatoes should start breaking down into soup).
• Add sour cream and mix well.
• Ladle soup into serving bowls, top each serving with bacon or ham, cheddar cheese and green onions.

HOMESTEADER'S POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Peel your potatoes and place them into a medium pot. Add enough water to cover them. Boil them until the potatoes are soft. Pour off about half of the water, not all of it, because their is a lot of flavor in the water.
• 2. Partially mash the potatoes. If you like "chunky" soup, then leave a lot of chunks approximately the size of a marble.
• 3. Add the butter. Dice the Velveeta and add it now too. Heat over medium heat to melt the butter and Velveeta. Stir gently as not to break up the potato pieces.
• 4. Add your half and half, gently heating and stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste.
