Bacon Potato Soup
1 package sliced bacon
8-10 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
2 cups shredded cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 onion chopped (optional)
Thickening:
1/2 cup flour
1 cup water
Fry small bacon pieces in a large 3 quart cooking pan until crisp, drain grease, set bacon aside. Cook potatoes and onion (using same pan bacon was cooked in so the flavor cooks into the broth) in enough water to cover them. When the potatoes are tender, about 25-35 minutes, add thickening a little bit at a time until desired thickness. Add cheese, bacon, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle a little cheese on top and enjoy!
Serves 6-8
