This is an adaptation of the soup my mother made when I was a kid. It is and was the one soup that everyone liked. My husband says it's not soup, it's an "experience." Potato, cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onion in a bowl; warm and good. Because it's thickened with instant mashed potatoes, it's also gluten free. It's actually quick to prepare, as far as soup goes, and can be made in under an hour.
This makes approximately 3 quarts soup.

I wouldn't drink it all the time, but it's actually not half-bad.
Great pictures, they made me hungry!
