Here are the ingredients, that I use for potato soup. You don't really have to measure, just add for the quantity of soup you want to make. Cook bacon slices until crisp, crumble. Saute onions in same pan as you used to cook the bacon, minus the grease(you can add a bit of margarine, butter or oil.) Cook onions until soft and a bit browned. Add together with milk,
add a can of corn, juice and all. Thicken with instant potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I add a can or two of evaporated milk for richness. This works in crock pot or on top of the stove.
