I've been able to come up for air at work, so I may actually be able to enter something before the contest ends. I understand that sweet potatatoes aren't allowed, but can use use potatoes if I can't find potatatoes in my local market? :wink:
 
My third entry:

Recipe - Country Potato Soup

Pretty straightforward, we ate a lot of potato soup growing up, and this is an easy one to throw together.

It's a little past milky white and closer to gravy brown, but I let the onions go a little long while cooking those. Tastes great, either way.

One thing I usually do with using bacon in potato soup is to crisp it, get the fat, then pull it out to save as a garnish, because I don't really like the texture of boiled streaky bacon. I didn't do that this time, didn't really hurt anything. If I wanted to leave the meat in as part of the soup, I'd probably substitute diced ham (or back bacon).
