Bi-Lo Bargain Meal of the Week - Hot Potato Soup

Hot Potato Soup

This is one of my favorite recipes that my Momma made when I was growing up, and now I make it for my family.  As a matter of fact, since it's really really cold today - this is what we'll be having for dinner tonight! 

 Potatoes can be used about a gazillion different ways, and they're dirt cheap so I love having them on hand.  This is a very basic recipe - but you can also add in whatever you have on hand to change it up (ham, corn, cream cheese, broccoli, sour cream...).  

What You'll Need:

4 cups peeled & diced potatoes

5lb bag Russet Potatoes - $2.49

(Cost: around 65¢-75¢)

1/2 onion, sliced thinly

3lb bag Yellow Onions - $2.49

(Cost: around 10¢)

4 cups chicken broth

Progresso Chicken Broth - $2

USE $1 OFF printable

1 can evaporated milk

PET Evaporated Milk - 98¢

6 strips of bacon

Hormel Bacon - $2.50

(Cost: about $1.25)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Crystal Farms Cheese - $2

USE $1/2 from SS 11/21

MAKES IT $1.50 

(Cost: about 75¢)

From The Pantry or Fridge:

1/2 stick butter

salt & pepper to taste

Fry bacon until crispy, and drain on paper towels.  In a large stockpot add potatoes, onions, and butter to chicken broth.  Bring to a boil and then cook on medium until the potatoes are tender.  Reduce the heat to very low, and stir in the evaporated milk.  Once the soup is heated through, it's ready - top with crispy bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.  

TOTAL MEAL COST:  ONLY $4.83!
