Country Potato Soup ( This is my own recipe) 5-6 large potatoes; diced 2 quarts water 2 stalks celery; chopped 1 meduim onion; chopped 1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes 1 Tbls. butter 6 slices bacon; fried and crumbled 3/4 cup cheese; grated (american, cheddar or colby) 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. white pepper Cook Potatoes, onion, celery in water until done. Add butter, bacon and instant potatoes (this thickens soup). Add Milk and cheese and cook until cheese is melted.
