This is a hearty, easy soup that's perfect for cold nights. It's relatively simple and keeps well for days. We love to pair it with hot, crusty rolls!

SERVES 5 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 large potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup water, reserved from boiling potato
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 lb cooked crumbled bacon

Directions

1
Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until they are easy to break apart but not too soft.
2
Drain potatoes, reserving one cup of hot potato water.
3
In a large pot, melt butter. Add in flour, and whisk until smooth.
4
Add potato water, and mix until smooth.
5
Gradually add milk and cheese alternately.
6
As cheese is melting, stir in potatoes and green onions. Add bacon to soup.
7
Let the soup continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
8
Serve with warm bread and enjoy!
