You'll be surprised at the taste of this rich, cheesy concoction - it's not a typical potato soup. I came up with the recipe after enjoying baked potato soup at one of our favorite restaurants. I added bacon, and we think that makes it even better. -Coleen Morrissey, Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania

I tweeked this recipe a little bit. I doubled it for starters. I also used 4 stalks of fresh celery and sauteed the celery, onions, and carrots in bacon drippings in the stew pot. I also used 8 oz of velveeta and 8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese. Of course I also doubled the bacon. :) This recipe was a HIT! I shared with a family of four - single dad and three picky eating kids..they devoured it. I will hands down make this again. We ate it with Rhodes frozen rolls :) mmmmmm!

I added a rib of celery and used half the amount of velveeta. I added 4 oz shredded sharp cheddar for more authentic cheese flavor. I had fresh parsley on hand, so I used that instead of dried. I think a garnish of chives would be even better than green onions.

Too easy..too delicious...to die for. The next go round i'd like to add brocolli. I lowered the fat content by using skim milk. I even sprinkled some shredded provolone and chedder. Total comfort food. THANK YOU COLEEN MORRISSEY!
