Bacon, Cheese, and Potato Chowder: Needs More Bacon

For this week’s Weekend Cooking I am pulling out an oldie but goodie, the Bacon, Cheese, and Potato Chowder. This was one of the first recipes Beth and I made together back in 2007. Our only complaint was that it called for two strips for six bowls. It should be more like two strips for each bowl.

I am glad I found this recipe again and Beth and I will hopefully get to make it again this weekend. I have one pack of the Nueske’s Cherry wood left and this would be a great way to use it.

Bacon, Cheese, and Potato Chowder

• 3 cups milk
• 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of potato soup
