Potato Soup

This is my sister's massive recipe for potato soup. We really enjoyed it, but it takes a bit of effort to thicken sometimes.

Potato Soup

12 cups water
12 chicken bullion cubes
6-7 cups small potatoes (red w/ skin)
1 lg onion chopped and sauteed
1 can corn (drained)
1-2 cups peas (thawed)
3 cups shredded cheese
1 pound bacon - fry and then cook onions in bacon grease*
1/2 cup cream

Directions:

Cook the bacon, set aside. Fry onions in grease. Add to the chicken broth. Add potatoes to pot. Boil until the potatoes are soft. Add the corn. Add the peas. Use the flour to thicken the soup. Then add the cheese and cream. Eat!

*I don't use a pound, but let's be honest, it's probably even better tasting if you do.
