Yummy Potato Soup

Today's post is homemade potato soup. One of my all time favorite winter dishes!

Ingredients:
- 1 bag of potatoes
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese (I recommend shredding a block)
- 1 onion
- Milk
- Salt, pepper
- Bacon bits
- Chives
- Butter

Directions:
1. Boil water with some salt and pepper.
2. Meanwhile, cut up half of an onion. Put in water.



3. Next cut up potatoes into little square chunks



4. Add potatoes to water. Cook only for 10 minutes. This is important because if you cook them too long they will turn out mushy in your soup. 
5. Drain water. Try to keep onions with the potatoes
6. Next, add milk until you can see just the tip tops of the potatoes. The measurements will differ for each soup because it depends on how many potatoes you decide to chop up.

7. Then add butter. As much or little as you like. 
8. Cook until liquid is hot. Add cheese when liquid is warm for a cheesy texture or wait to put cheese in individual bowls. 
9. Chop up some chives, add some bacon bits, and cheese on top, and you've got homemade potato soup!
