Potato Soup

It is Potato Days this weekend, so I thought I would share a family favorite!

Ingredients:
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 c. chicken broth
2-3 large potatoes cubed
3-5 bacon strips in bits (I use 4 Tbsp. of real bacon bits)

1 cup half-and half cream
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Saute onion and garlic until tender. And then stir in flour, salt, dill and pepper-mix well.  Slowly add broth.  Add potatoes and bring to a boil until potatoes are tender.  Mash the potatoes a bit while in the soup.  Add cream and bacon, heat, but do not boil.  Top with cheese.

For those who know me, I double this recipe and alter as I can (ha-ha)!!!  The kids still love it!  The boys think it's restaurant quality.  (Come to think of it, all of their meals should taste like a restaurant since they do not have to lift a finger...ah, the life of a child!)

Post a comment if you use and love this recipe and changes you made!

Happy Potatoes!!!
