Nana Comfort Food Potato Soup

Rainy Day Potato Soup  

Nothing is more perfect than a hot bowl of potato soup to stick to your ribs on a cold, rainy day.   

Wash and peel all your potatoes and cover with cold water.   You can simmer on the stove but I enjoy sticking it in the crock pot so I don't have to watch it and can go read a good rainy day book.

Cut in small pieces and put in crock pot with 1/2 of a stick of butter sliced and enough milk to cover the potatoes.   Add a dash of salt and pepper.  

Chop one or two green onions and toss in.

Fry some bacon to be crispy and lay on paper towels.   After it has cooled, crumble in the crock pot and stir.  

Leave on low all day stirring occasionally.   

Serve with crackers, a plate of cheese, and pumpkin spice cookies for dessert.   

Papi likes a few sliced jalapenos with his soup.    

This is a great dish to make for lunches.   Microwave at work or send in a thermos for the kids.
