"Canadian bacon adds a hint of smoky flavor to this hearty soup that my husband loves," writes Cheryl Morgan from her home in Dover, Minnesota. "It doesn't have the typical butter and heavy cream you'll find in many potato soups, but it's still rich and satisfying."

CANADIAN BACON POTATO SOUP
Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Identifying a Canadian recipe, for an American, was difficult. Good thing I found at least one good one, on the internet. St. Ives makes a wonderful vegetarian substitute for Canadian Bacon. Lower in fat than the original (which I understand is still pretty low in fat). This is a diabetic recipe, from Taste of Home's Light and Tasty. Exchanges: 1 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 vegetable. I have not tried this yet, but I will. Butter granules are new to me; I might as well experiment.

Tips:
- Use the right kind of potatoes. Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this soup, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bite to them.
- Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth is a good option, but you can also use beef broth if you prefer. Add garlic and bay leaves to the broth for extra flavor.
- Don't crowd the pot. If you're making a large batch of soup, cook it in batches so that the potatoes and vegetables have room to cook evenly.
- Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon are all popular options.
