I have to tell you, I love eating soups all year round. I really do. I also love using my crockpot all year round. I know a lot of people who pack away their crockpots when the hot weather comes, but I find that the summer is a perfect time to use it.  That little crockpot on your counter will not only keep you from having to stand over the stove, but it also keeps your entire kitchen from heating up.

To begin, fry a few slices of bacon until crispy.

Set aside the bacon for the time being.

Dice a medium sized onion.

Sauté the onion in the drippings from your bacon. When golden, place it in your crockpot.

Peel and slice 4 pounds of russet potatoes. Place them in the crockpot.

Add in a teaspoon each of salt & pepper. Let this cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

After it has cooked, pour in a cup and a half of milk.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until the soup thickens up but still has some chunks in it.

Grate some sharp cheddar cheese – about a cup and stir it into the soup. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the soup is heated back up from the cold milk, and the cheese is melted in.

Serve the soup with a little extra cheese, a dollop of sour cream and crumble some of the bacon on top.
