The one thing that I did before I started cooking was to dump the bag soup mix over a colander - the soup mix comes with small pieces of dried potato that; while they serve just fine, I wanted to take out and do more with. So I put a colander over my soup pot, let the soup mix and spices go through and weeded out the potato pieces...and then we were off to the races!

| The soup starting to look absolutely delicious; thick and creamy...just like I wanted. |
How to Cook It
- Wash and scrub potatoes and carrots, cut into small pieces. Cook for about ten minutes or until tender; they should be easily pierced with a fork. Set aside one cup of potato/carrot cooking liquid.
- In soup pot, empty the Cugino's soup mix, (minus the potato pieces) bacon pieces, parsley, pepper, onion, milk, half & half, water, cup of reserved potato water, butter, sour cream and cheddar cheese, mixing well.
- Bring to a low boil on medium heat, then turn down to medium/low heat and cook for approximately twenty minutes. Stir frequently to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Serve garnished with cheddar cheese...or bacon pieces...or sour cream. Perhaps all three! Enjoy!
