Potato Soup for the Soul!




Nothing warms you like a bowl of hot soup when it's cold and figid outside. I can say that most of us have had enough of this long winter!

Yesterday, I cooked a pot of delicious potato soup and I wanted to share the recipe here.


Ingredients:

8 - 12 Potatoes (Your choice. I don't have a favorite. I just use regular potatoes)
3/4 of a small can of Cream of Chicken soup
1 bag of real bacon bits
Chives
1 bag of shredded cheese
1 small container of sour cream
Seasoned Salt
Pepper


First, of course, you'll want to peel your potatoes and cut them in the quarters. Boil them until they are JUST done enough you can cut them in two with the spoon you're stirring with. Reduce heat to medium or medium - high.

Next, drain off water until there is just enough water left to cover the potatoes well. Add your cream of chicken soup and stir vigorously to make sure you have a creamy chicken/potato broth, but not so hard that your potatoes all turn to soup. You want to keep some chunks of potato. Salt and pepper to taste.

Finally, pour your serving of steaming hot soup into a bowl. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese. Then add a tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle bacon bits on top of that along with a few chives.

It is absolutely delicious! If you happen to try this, let me know your thoughts!
