Here's what I do...
--Saute 1 package of center cut bacon in a large soup pot.
--Remove bacon and reserve for later, and discard most of the grease from the pot.
--Add 2 T butter. When melted, add 2 T flour and whisk together.
--Whisk in 4 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of whole milk over med-high heat.
--Add salt, pepper and a can of diced green chilies.
--Prepare 2 bags of steam-n-mash russet potatoes. Add in some milk as needed to help mash.
--Add potatoes to soup pot and whisk together. Cook over medium heat until hot. Season again with salt and pepper as needed. Serves 6.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, chives, reserved bacon and sourdough croutons.
For the croutons:
--Slice 4 pieces of sourdough bread into small squares.
--Melt a little butter in a saute pan over high heat.
--Add the bread and toss around until golden. Season with a little salt.

Hey Chaiss, Sounds good, but I've got an even easier receipe. Tell your husband to stop at your favorite BBQ restaurant on his way home and buy 3 baked potatoes "with everything". Take them home, scoop out all the insides and put it in a large pot. Add enough milk to make it as thick or thin as you like. Since the potatoes come with butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon, all you need to add is milk and salt & pepper. Mash up the potatoes, and heat over medium heating, stirring often. Delicious and it counts as home-cooking. Aunt Judy
haha what a fabulous mind you have! i'll see if kevin agrees...
