While you guys down in the South are freezing your oranges off we up here in Washington state are enjoying a balmy 47 degrees!

Our mild temperature however does not deter me from making and loving soup. Because there is typically just the hubs and I, and since hubs really isn’t fond of soup, I don’t make it very often.

However with the recipes I found the other day I’m seriously thinking of making the Classic Potato Soup!

Anyone want to come over and help me eat it??

Classic Potato Soup

Ingredients
6 slice(s) bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 pound(s) (about 5 large) russet potatoes
3 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) sour cream
1/4 pound(s) (1 stick) butter
2 2/3 cup(s) whole milk
1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup(s) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions
Cook the bacon pieces over medium heat in a medium skillet until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper toweling to drain and set aside. Peel, rinse, and cut the potatoes into thirds. Place them in a large pot with water to cover, add 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very soft — about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, discarding the water, and return them to the pot.

Mash them with a potato masher until smooth. Add the sour cream and butter and stir until melted. Add the milk, pepper, and remaining salt and bring the soup back to a simmer. Divide among 8 bowls and serve the soup hot, garnished with scallions, cheese, and bacon.
