ingredients
1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2 pieces
1 cup chopped onions
4 cups diced potatoes
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste
2 cans (10.75 ounce size) cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
2 cups sour cream
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
directions
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until browned. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the diced potatoes, water, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the soup, sour cream, and milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through (do not let the mixture boil or the sour cream may curdle).
Serve immediately garnished with chopped parsley.

I made this last night and it turned out wonderful. I think the recipe meant to say to cut the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. I also used one can of cream of chicken and one can cream of celery and added some diced celery. Next time I will add more potatoes because I added a little extra milk. But it still was delicious!

This is awesome will be a family favorite for sure. I did add a few things too. I used velveta cheese melted in with the milk and I used turkey bacon instead of pork. Yum Yum. Cut back a bit on the milk too as we like creamier soups! Toped it off with in dishes with a dolop of sour cream and a few chives.

LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this soup all around. Everyone asks for the recipe. I've made this soup for parties of 6 to 36. I cut back on the bacon and add celery, carrots and ham or sub the ham for the bacon. I don't care for a thick soup so add more milk for a soup consistency! ENJOY!!:)

I usually make vegetable soups, This time I decided to try something new. So I tried making the bacon potato chowder soup and it was delisious. I decided it was the soup that i was going to take to a party last fall, and everyone loved it. Needless to say there wasn't any soup left in my crock pot. Also I added ham in with the bacon WOW!!!!!!

We really enjoyed this soup, though we did cut up the bacon into very small pieces too. Additionally we also added celery and carrots to add some additional flavors, colors, and textures

I made this dish in a low fat version. Fat free~ bacon bits, cream soups,sourcream and milk. It still tasted delicious!

This is the potato recipe I've searched for everywhere!It has the perfect amount of spice--it's rich and creamy and better than any restaurant soup I've tasted. A couple of tweaks I made: I added about 50-75% more water and cut up the bacon in smaller pieces.
