CREAM OF POTATO SOUP W/BACON

I love cream soups. They are my favorites in the soup world.
With this recipe I broke it down with easy to follow steps so you can enjoy this amazing treat. Weather it is a pre~dish to the main entree.
Or just as the main meal you will enjoy this soup.
First I love to use gold Potato's. however any potato will work.
The golds will not oxidize and discolor as quickly as russets etc.
Plus the have a unique flavor I just enjoy as well as a softer texture.
I also wait to add my cream till the end so I can guarantee it wont separate later from to high a heat in your boiling process.
If you enjoy this dish please give me a like as well as feel free to subscribe for other creations in the future.
