Potato soup is one of the best soups you can make. While the ingredients don't sound too appetizing due to the small amount of ingredients, it offers great nutritional value and a wonderful thick and creamy taste. The following recipe will serve between six and eight people.

The ingredients you will need are as follows:
6 cups cubed potatoes
9 tbsp butter
1 small diced onion
9 tbsp flour
Cayenne powder
Black pepper
9 cups milk
2 tsp salt
4 cups cooked bacon
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
- Peel and dice potatoes cooking them in boiling water until soft
- Drain potatoes and reserve 1 cup of the water
- Melt butter in a saucepan
- Add onion and cook until tender
- Stir in flour
- Add to the potatoes along with the reserved water, milk, salt, and seasonings (cover top of the water with the seasonings); stir well
