Fall and Winter, I want something that makes me feel cozy. This potato soup has a lot of flavor. It's hearty, filling, and not too rich or fatty. When I snuggle up in front of the fireplace with my potato soup, a blanket and a good book, it feels like all is well with the world.

Steps

50 mins

1

In a large stock pot, cook bacon until crisp. (Bacon is used as a garnish)
2

Remove bacon and remove and discard half of the fat from the pot. Add onions and celery to pot (with remaining bacon fat) and saute for 2 mins. - FOR A LOWER FAT VERSION, AFTER BACON IS COOKED, DISCARD ALL FAT AND SAUTE USING OLIVE OIL.
3

Add potatoes to the pot (I like to keep the skin on). Cook for 5 mins.
4

Add seasoning
5

Add water
6

Add Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup (or your favorite condensed creamy soup). Stir and cook until potatoes begin to soften, about 8 - 10 mins. - FOR A LOWER FAT VERSION, USE 98%FAT FREE CAMPBELL'S CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP.
7

In a separate bowl, mix milk and flour until smooth. Add milk mixture (slowly while stirring) into pot. Cook for 5 mins. - FOR A LOWER FAT VERSION, USE NON-FAT MILK.
8

Remove half of the ingredients from the pot, and blend in a blender untill smooth. Return the blended ingredients to the pot and mix with the chunky ingredients (this keeps texture in your soup).
9

Add parsley. Simmer, stir, and taste. YUM!
10

When serving, garnish with cheese, bacon, and/or tortilla chips (optional but adds more texture, crunch, and flavor). - FOR A LOWER FAT VERSION, OMIT BACON OR SUBTITUTE WITH TURKEY BACON, OMIT CHEESE, AND USE FAT FREE TORTILLA CHIPS.
