Potato Soup - comfort on a chilly evening

This afternoon, I cooked up a batch of potato soup, with cheddar, bacon and parsley. It really hits the spot on cool evenings! I'm working on a full write-up to post tomorrow, but I thought you guys might like a sneak preview...

Oh, and if you want a batch for yourself, make sure you have the following ingredients and equipment:

8-10 medium red potatoes
2 yellow onions
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
3-4 strips of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled into bits
1 bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup of milk
course-ground black pepper

stock pot or dutch oven, 5 quarts or larger
potato masher (optional, but very heplful)
1-gallon plastic container with lid

Tomorrow, we'll have the recipe and several pictures illustrating how to cook potato soup, so stay tuned!
