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.
