Yummy soup!! Cheese and potatoes, corn and bacon, delicious! This recipe was easy to put together and even the 4 year old liked it! I lightened it a bit for DH who is watching his calories and so decreased the bacon and cheese quantities and left out the cream. It was very good! Thanks, Kittencal!!

Thank you so much for this recipe, Kittencal! I love it and more importantly the rest of the gang does, too. I love the concept of cooking the drippings with the water, boullin and potatoes, thus making its own broth. Half the time I do not have chicken broth on hand, but I can always find a boullion in the cupboard. Since I make this in my pressure cooker I can cook the potatoes in five minutes, which makes it do-able at the last minute. I use a mixture of cheddar and american cheeses, since I always have them on hand. This has become a favorite!
