IRISH POTATO SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• Peel & cut potatoes into chunks. Place in boiling water and cook until done (I usually do this for about 15-20 minutes. They need to be a bit crunchy, not too hard-not too soft) drain water when done; set aside.
• Fry bacon in separate pot (the one you will use to make the soup). Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside. Leave the grease in the pan.
• Caramelize the onions in the bacon grease. Allow to cool for 5 minutes or so; do not empty the grease!
• Add the cheese soups, cream of potato & French onion soups, milk and water to the onion/grease mixture.
• Crumble the bacon and divide it into 2 bowls.
• Heat up the soup mixture in the bacon grease/onion pan and when hot, add the potatoes and one bowl of the bacon crumbles. Set on medium heat and allow to cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Add half of the cheese while stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.
• Allow soup to sit for about 5 minutes and serve with remaining bacon crumbles and cheese on top.
• A really nice romaine salad w/purple onions, roma tomatoes and cheddar/garlic croutons *and your fave dressing* make this the perfect meal.Enjoy!
