This is my absolute favorite potato soup recipe….it’s creamy, cheesy and so simple to make. I hope you and your family will enjoy this

with paper towels to drain. Leave renderings in skillet.

Saute veggies in bacon renderings and add add flour to make a paste.


 

Add broth and whisk well, then add milk.

 

Add diced potatoes

 

Simmer on reduced heat for 20 mins until potatoes are tender.
