1 qt half and half
1 qt whole milk (you can use reduced fat milk but whole tases better)
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 can(s) diced potatos, drained

0.5 stick real butter
1 1/2 tsp coarse grind pepper (less if you are using peppered bacon)
salt to your taste

Steps:

1. cook bacon drain grease and set aside *cook bacon in the pot you are going to make the soup in will add more bacon flavor without adding a lot of grease
2. in the same soup pot mix all the ingredients together and bring to a slow simmer stirring often
3. once butter is melted lower the temperature and let simmer for about an hour stirring ocassionally so soup does not burn
4. We enjoy this with oyster crackers, and sometimes garnish with some green onions chopped
