This recipe is a mash-up of one making the rounds on Facebook whose creator seems to be lost in the Sands of Data. (If anyone knows, please post it in the comments and I'll give credit where it's due.) I made it as written last winter, but it was just too thick for me, and I don't say that easily. I love thick soups! So I'll post the original recipe and suggest my modifications. Play around with this recipe, too, and mash-up a new family favorite. =^..^=

Step 3

ONE HOUR BEFORE IT IS DONE, add the block of cream cheese. Stir occasionally.
Step 4

Top bowls of potato soup with cheese and additional bacon bits.
Step 5

**If cooking on HIGH, soup will be done in about 4 hours, so add the cream cheese after about 3 hours.
