Super Easy Potato Soup

kbcountrymom's Note:

This recipe came from a friend of mine that lives in the back country of Tennessee. It tastes so much like Bennigans Potato Soup but soooo easy to make!

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 4.0 bowls

• 5 -6 potatoes
• 1 (2 2/3 ounce) packet mccormicks original country gravy mix
• 1 onion, chopped
• bacon bit
• shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Cut potatoes into small pieces, add onion and boil in water just covering potatoes, about 20 minutes or until done. DO NOT DRAIN.
2. Mix 1 packet of original country gravy in small amount of water until lumps are gone.
3. Add to potatoes, slowly and heat until thickened (about 5 mins or so). If soup still looks watery, add another packet of country gravy.
4. Some people have used 1/2 cup spud flakes to make it thicker also but I haven't needed it.
5. Serve hot, topped with bacon bits and shredded cheese.

Nothing this easy to make should taste so good! As one of your previous reviewers I too used a sub for the McCormicks orginal Country Gravy and used bacon having neither the McCormicks nor bacon bits on hand . (on for my next shop) Made with new potatoes fresh from the garden, some snipped in dill - yes super easy and super good. Thank you kbcountrymom it's been added to my family favorites.
