Bacon and Potato Soup

[donna]

This recipe is old Kentucky recipe my Granny made. It has my favorites, bacon and potatoes. A great soup for the Fall weather we now are starting to have.

Bacon and Potato Soup

One half pound bacon cooked and crumbled, one medium onion, chopped, four to six medium potatoes, diced, four boiled eggs, cubed, two cups of scalded milk, and salt and pepper.

Fry bacon until crisp, then crumble. Remove from pan. Pour off all but two tablespoons of bacon fat. Add potatoes and onions to the fat. Cover with water and cook until done. Add crumbled bacon, cubed eggs, scalded milk and seasonings.

Potato soup with bacon is one of my cold weather favorites,I like to have with some shredded cheddar cheese mixed in.then I add some hot sauce.

I love potato soup, especially in cooler weather. I don't think I've had it with bacon (ham used here) but will have to try.

Donna. This is one of my favorite soups in the world, next to leek and potato soup. However, Donna please don't put hard boiled eggs in this beautiful soup. It creates a horrible flavor in the soup in my opinion. It's just plain awful!! YUK!! Make that a DOUBLE YUK!!!! Thanks for sharing . David.

Scalded milk that is brought to a point just short of boiling.

Thank You...

nitrofd got definition before I did.

"Scaled milk is milk brought nearly to a boil and then cooled down." It is recommended in several recipes like this one.

A delicious soup recipe with potato and bacon. Good any time but special for Fall and Winter.
