Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, crumble, and set aside.
- Cook and stir onion and celery in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat until the onion is translucent and tender. Drain excess grease, then stir in potatoes. Add water to cover all but 1 inch of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the evaporated milk, and continue cooking until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in bacon just before serving.

IRISH POTATO SOUP WITH BACON
I made this for St. Patty's day (along with the Recipe #217866) and the whole family loved it, even my 15 yr old who is quite picky. It's made from canned soups, so its easily accessible for anyone to make. No 'out of the way' ingredients. thick, creamy and very filling for cold nights. The bacon adds a great flavor and some nice texture. **If you have any questions about this recipe, feel free to leave me a message**

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!
IRISH BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP
This is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green colour of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful colour.

IRISH POTATO SOUP
Have been making this for years. The bay leaf is what makes this one a little different from a lot of potato soups.

Steps:
- Peel and slice the potatoes.
- Put potatoes into a soup pot with water, onions, and bay leaf.
- Simmer covered for 45 minutes.
- Puree soup in batches.
- Add half and half, salt, and pepper. Also add smoked sausage if using.
- Cook for 15 minutes on low just until heated thoroughly without scalding the half and half.
- Add butter and serve.
Tips:
- Use russet potatoes: They have a high starch content, which helps to thicken the soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the potatoes, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes. You can check them by inserting a knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use vegetable broth instead.
- Don't skimp on the bacon: Bacon adds a lot of flavor to the soup. If you don't like bacon, you can use pancetta or ham instead.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the onion and celery: This will help to prevent them from becoming stringy.
- Cook the onion and celery until they are softened: This will take about 5-7 minutes. You can check them by tasting them. They should be soft and slightly sweet.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute: This will help to release the flavor of the garlic.
- Add the potatoes, chicken broth, bacon, onion, celery, and garlic to the pot: Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt and pepper, to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
- Serve the soup hot: Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
