Bacon, Cheese & Potato Chowder

I am always looking for easy recipes, and this one was a hit! I doubled the recipe so I could have plenty. Yummmmmmm!

This was very easy and tasty!

This was the easiest potato soup i have ever made and it was fantastic! What a great cold weather meal!

This chowder was delicious, and SO easy to make. Without oil or butter, I also threw the green onions and bacon in the pot first to sweat some of the flavor out of both. Then I threw in the 2 cups of potatoes. Once everything started to smell really good, I put in the soup and milk as directed. The trick to make everything thicker is to let it reduce more than the recipe calls for. Once I got it boiling, I let it simmer on medium high heat until all the ingredients were suspended in the broth, also stirring constantly to avoid boil over. I added some garlic and celery to the recipe as well. This soup came out hearty, and thick like a chowder should be.

I added a 1/2 can of condensed Cheese soup and it was so good. I also added about 3 cups of hash browns. It made it heartier and more finlling.

i think i'll add less milk next time

I saute the bacon(turkey bacon) and green onions in the bottom of the pan with just a small dab of margarine then I add the milk, soup and potatoes. When it starts boiling I add a hand full of the shredded cheese. When served I sprinkle with more cheese on the top. I like the flavor it has when it's all mixed together in the first place. I made it once for a dinner at work and now it's requested everytime.

Adding the bacon and cheese gave it a special taste and texture. I enjoyed taking the leftover soup to lunch.

I followed the other ideas posted and added more bacon, plus about a tsp of drippings. This really enhanced the taste, thanks for the tip.

I thought the soup was very bland and had no taste. I even added velveeta cheese to it to give a more cheesey flavor. There was a brown film at the bottom of the pot that added a gross taste. Disappointed
