Soup (Chowder )

Potato Soup

Contributor: Cindy Hakes

5 potatoes peeled and chopped
3 sticks celery chopped
1 medium onion chopped
2 carrots shredded
2 cups milk
3 cups chicken broth
10 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
8 oz pkg cheddar cheese shredded
salt & pepper to taste

Boil potatoes, carrots in water or chicken broth until tender. Cook bacon until crisp and crumble, with bacon grease cook the onions and celery until browned. Drain the onions and celery. Add onions, celery, bacon, milk, cheese and seasoning to potatoes & carrots. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally until desired tenderness. I actually like to put in crock pot instead.
