EASY CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP W/ CRISP BACON



Easy Creamy, Cheesy Potato Soup W/ Crisp Bacon image

This soup is fabulous, and much easier than the more complicated, time-intensive potato soup that I sometimes make. It is easy to throw together on a weekday night, or for lunch. You can, of course, use real potatoes (2 cups potatoes, skinned and cut into cubes), but I find it is even easier, and just as delicious, to use canned, sliced potatoes. It is a filling, creamy, and hearty soup, one that can easily be served alone for a complete meal. Although shared with me by my sister-in law, it actually originally came from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, and then has been adjusted by me. You will love this soup - as my husband says, "This soup is awesome!!!! "

EASY CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP



Easy Creamy Sweet Potato Soup image

This is one of my signature dishes. I made this recipe when I was 12 years old. If you want to use potato instead of sweet potato, replace the coconut milk with cow's milk. Add your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor, or just prepare it as stated.
