1/8-1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

1
Fry bacon until crisp in large dutch oven or stock pot.
2
Add onion and saute for 2 or 3 minutes.
3
Pour off fat; add potatoes and water.
4
Bring to boil, cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

WOW! This soup is amazing! It's creamy but also flavorful, which is something a lot of creamy potato soups lack. Also, if you use fat free sour cream, skim milk and turkey bacon, it's also a very filling but reduced-calorie dinner! (this is what we did...it turned out great!) Sprinkle with a little low-fat mozzarella cheese, and you have a soup that makes for a great-tasting meal all by itself!

OMG! If I could make those letters any bigger I would! This soup is WONDERFUL. I substituted the green beans with frozen corn and had to use parsley flakes for the fresh. But it still came out great. On this first night of super cold temps this hit the spot. Six thumbs up here Ms_Bold!

This was so good. I made a double batch of it because I have so many potatoes that need to be used up. I used some frozen broccoli floweretts and some frozen white corn. DH usually moans when I make soup for dinner, but he really enjoyed this....it had such a great flavor. I brought some down to my neighbors, so they'll be happy too!! Thanks Ms_Bold

This was absolutely delicious. I cheated and bought some pre-cooked diced potatoes (like they sell refrigerated with hashbrowns...don't remember the name of them. I think it's "Simply Potatoes."I put it in the crockpot and added a can of clams, some baby shrimp and some crab for a seafood chowder. My-Oh-My..it is delicious! Ivars..eat your heart out!
