This is good! and you do not need to boil the potatoes

Loaded Potato Soup

8 ounces (1/2 of a 1-pound package) Bacon, diced
1 Pound russet potatoes
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 cloves garlic
1 to 2 cups cream(need to have fat content--lower fat milk products will curdle in the heat)
Chicken stock to cover potatoes in pot
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
3 green onions or fresh chives, chopped


Instructions:
1. Cook the bacon in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat until crisp, stirring often. Remove the bacon from the saucepan and drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings.
2. Add the potatoes and onions to the saucepan, season with salt and black pepper and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in the cream starter, add chicken stock to cover the potatoes and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in half the bacon and half the cheese. Top with the remaining bacon, remaining cheese and the green onions before serving.

Thanks for the recipe! It was a spur of the moment lunch idea. Yesterday, hubby and I started a veggie broth in the crock put since we had some celery and carrots that were going to go bad if we didn't use them up. So we cut them up, threw them in, added some garlic, sage, a bay leaf, onion, thyme, and parsley and let it summer in the crock pot overnight. We added salt and pepper to taste this morning and it was SO good. We made a lot and I thought it would be a great idea to use some and add some mashed/crushed potatoes. We're out of bacon though . Cheddar cheese on top was fantastic though
