Here is a link to a potato soup I made a few weeks ago & it is by far the best I have had! I love using my crockpot & love potato soup & this fit the bill. I didn't peel my potatoes, used evaporated milk instead of cream & left out the cilantro & it was wonderful- thick, tasty & perfect!

I like to add velveeta cheese cubes and ham or bacon to mine

These are the ingredients that I use for Potato Soup. Amount of each, depends on what you have on hand and the amount of soup you want to make. Bacon (crisp and crumbled) Onions, cook in the same pan that you cooked bacon in. dump the bacon grease, but scrap the pan to get all of the goodies left on the bottom. Cook onions until limp and slightly brown
Add milk, I like to add a can of evaporated milk (for richness) along with regular milk. Thicken with dry potato flakes.
Season with salt and pepper. I sometimes add a can of corn, including juice.

I received this recipe from a dear client and it is wonderful. Make on stove top. Peel 3 or 4 good sized white potatoes, cover with water. Add 1 small stalk chopped celery and 1 cut up onion. Boil until most of the water has evaporated and all are very tender. Mash well with wooden spoon or big fork, add 1 cup whole milk, stir and heat. Add 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and heat until melted. Add 1 cup sour cream, stir and heat, but be careful not to boil. Salt and pepper to taste, then garnish as desired. I sometimes add a little celery seed. THIS IS THE BEST POTATO SOUP EVER!!

Bear Creek makes an excellent mix in a package, just add boiling water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Super great just as it is but can be doctored up to suit your personal taste. So good I serve to company often. Quick and easy.
