Here you go. From one Tennessean to another!! ;):D



INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
Water
2 to 3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste Sauté the onions in the 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until softened. Add potatoes and just enough water to cook, about 1 cup. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, remaining butter, salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat until hot; do not boil. With a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes right in the pot to slightly thicken the soup.

Oh, yeah, bacon is great!!

I also cook some bacon beforehand and crumble it up on top.

I just made some but didn't have a onion but had some onion soup mix in package so I put a little of that in while I was melting butter and added some bacon bits from jar and it was great. I've been wanting some for a long time so I've got enough for a few meals. Tasted great.
