What's For Dinner Wednesday?

Ok folks, here it is...I made home made baked potato soup for dinner last week. It is very yummy. So, I encourage you to try it out yourself. Most of the time when I cook from scratch, I don't use exact measurements. You may have to adjust your soup accordingly.

Green Chile Bake Potato Soup

Cut about ten Russet potatoes into cubes.
Place them in a large pot with about three inches of water covering the tops of the potatoes.
Take one pound of bacon, and cook five to six pieces at a time in a frying pan. (Cook the whole pound of bacon)
Bring potatoes to a boil and continue boiling until potatoes are soft.
Add about three cups of whole milk to the cooked potatoes.
Add about 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream (not whipped cream, if you don't know the difference, call me)
Add a 4oz can of chopped green chiles. You can add more if you like.
Salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste.
Take cooked bacon and tear it to bits (doesn't that sound like good old fashioned therapy for some of us?)
Add bacon to pot
Then, add one 8oz bag of shredded cheddar to pot
Allow to simmer for about ten minutes.

Voila!!! Now, you're done. By the way, this is super delicious if you use sour dough or ciabatta bread bowls.

Enjoy.
