Pronto Potato Soup

Melanie here again....

A few days ago I made pronto potato soup with the leftover mashed potatoes in my fridge.   I got this recipe from my Mom but I'm not sure where she got it from originally.

8 bacon strips, cut into pieces
1 sm onion chopped
1 1/2 - 2 cups mashed potatoes
1 can cream of chicken soup
1-2 cans milk
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
2 T chopped parsley

In small frying pan brown bacon until crisp.  Remove and let drain on paper towel.  Add onion to drippings in pan and saute 2-3 min.  Drain fat.  Meanwhile mix potatoes and soup until smooth.  Add milk gradually to desired consistency , stirring constantly.  Add bacon and onion.  Season to taste.  Heat thru.

I added a little more to make it taste like Tony Roma's potato soup.  I ladelled it into bowls and topped with a little cheddar cheese and chopped green onion.  Served with biscuits!!

This was loved by everyone!  Mr Picky declared it to be not as yucky as he thought although he did grimace as he ate it.  Miss Almost Vegetarian loved it so much that she had 2 bowls.  Both my husband and I thought this was a winner!!
