How To Make potato soup, quick and easy and still from scratch .

Step 1

Wash potatoes and slice them with skins on into 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices. In medium saucepan cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil until tender, about 15 - 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Slice turkey bacon into 1/2 inch slices, slice onion in same width slices, and brown/cook in large stove top sturdy pan, I use a cast iron dutch oven. This step can be done while potatoes are boiling, takes 8 minutes.
Step 3

Season bacon and onions with salt and peppers.
Step 4

Stir in balsamic vinegar.
Step 5

Add drained potaoes and half n half. Stir.
Step 6

Heat throughly in saucepan/dutch oven taking care to heat quickly and not over cook because potatoes will break down easily.
Step 7

I serve with a pepper relish or corn relish as condiment. My kids love some shredded cheddar and or a dollop of sour cream on top!
Step 8

Corn can be added to make this even heartier or to vary flavor. Should you only have baking or Russetts on hand this makes a great side dish. Follow directions letting ingredients heat slower and as the potatoes break down they thicken making this a delightful side dish.
