How To Make cheesy cream of potato soup

  • 1
    In large pot over medium heat cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. I slice my bacon in small pieces before I fry it.
  • 2
    Add chopped onion to bacon grease and cook until transparent and it starts to brown around the edges.
  • 3
    Add potatoes, carrots and bouillon with just enough water to cover them. Boil until tender. At this point you can remove about half of the water.
  • 4
    Add evaporated milk, cheddar cheese soup and bacon. Simmer on low. Then enjoy, like I do, with a few croutons on top.
