Quick & Easy Potato Soup
When I first blogged this recipe in December 2010, I had only made it a few times.
Since then I have lost count how many times I have made this. Now that the temps are much cooler than they have been, I've peeled the spuds to make this soup once again today.
The family just loves it and it's rare when I find a soup recipe that everyone likes and/or will eat. I'm cooking for 6 people, making something that they all will eat is a task that I often accomplish but not as often as I like.
This potato soup recipe is very simple ....
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
4-5 cups of cubed cooked potatoes (small cubes)
2 large cans of cream of chicken soup
4-5 cups of milk (I filled each can with milk instead of measuring out the cups of milk)
salt & pepper to taste
This is a fast and easy recipe. I cook the potatoes, like fried potatoes until they are soft. While you're cutting and cooking the potatoes I put the 2 large cans of cream of chicken soup and milk into a 6 quart crock pot, and put the crock pot on high. Here lately I have seasoned the potatoes with a chicken flavored seasoning that I get from our local grocery store.
Once the potatoes are finished I scoop them into the crock pot and begin cooking the bacon. I cook on high for an hour after adding the potatoes.
Once the bacon is completely cooked we let it cool some before breaking it up into small pieces, put into the soup and then change the temp from high to warm for about an hour.
I put all the ingredients (except the bacon) into a 6 qt crock pot and cooked it for 6 hours; 4hr on high, 1hr on low and 1hr on warm & put the bacon in at hour 5. That way the bacon doesn't get too soggy. We like the bacon to have some crunch to it.
Easy Cheesy!
The kids enjoyed topping their soup with shredded cheese, oyster crackers and more bacon.
