Ingredients

  • 8 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 4 slices bacon (fried and crumbled)
  • 3 - chicken boullion cubes
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cans evaporated milk (not sweet condensed, i use fat free)
  • 1 to 2 cans campbells cheddar soup (depending on how cheesy you like it)
  • 7 - baby carrots (diced, optional)
  • 1 can mushrooms (chopped, optional)
  • - parsley flakes for color
  • - salt & pepper to taste

How To Make cheesy cream of potato soup

  • Step 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.
  • Step 2
    Add chopped onion to bacon grease and cook until transparent and it starts to brown around the edges.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 4
    Add evaporated milk, cheddar cheese soup and bacon. Simmer on low. Then enjoy, like I do, with a few croutons on top.
