Cream Of Potato Soup

 Today, I am having 11 kidney stones removed from my right kidney.

So yesterday, in preparation for today, I made a huge pot of Cream of Potato Soup.

I have posted this recipe before, it sounded gross to me the first time I heard it, but believe me, 

it is so easy, and even more delicious.

I hope to be able to come home tonight, and this will be waiting for me.

Fry 6 strips of bacon in a large soup pot.

Remove cooked bacon to the side and saute' one diced sweet onion in the bacon fat.

This is the size of the diced potatoes.

Potatoes go in with the onion and enough water to cover, I cook these for 7 minutes.

Add both cans of soup and I use 1 pint of heavy cream which is different than the recipe.

When it all comes together it looks like this.

The last time we had it, it looked like this.

I served it with crumbled bacon and scallions from my garden.

I have crusty bread to serve it with tonight!

And the 11 kidney stones, true story...but if you don't believe it, I don't blame you.

My stones have been tested many times and they are not a product of the foods I eat.

So there is no way to stop them from coming.

If you love potatoes like we do, make this soup on a cold winter evening, you will be glad you did!
