Potato Soup

The weather in SW Iowa is frigid.  To warm up, I made potato soup for me and Liturgygeek.  She loves my potato soup and in the interest of honesty (if not modesty) I must admit the soup is good.  Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

2-3 baking potatoes peeled and chopped

1 medium onion chopped

1/2 gallon milk

1/2 cup butter

1 can(15 oz) chicken broth

pepper to taste

thyme to taste

8 oz. sour cheese

2 bags of cubed cheese (I like a combination of cheddar and monterey jack)

Combine potatoes, onion milk, butter, broth, pepper, and thyme.  Cook until boiling but make sure to stir often.  When soup starts bubbling add the sour cream and cubed cheese.  Stir until cheese is fully mixed in.  Serve with shredded cheese and bacon bits.
