Potato- bacon soup

I thought bacon was unhealthy, until someone recently told me otherwise. Potatoes and bacon should be legally allowed to marry because they are one of the best pairs in my kitchen. Fried, crumbled bacon can work wonders in a mashed potato recipe, and this hearty soup can lift anyone's mood on a winter night.

I fry the bacon strips first (sliced bite-size) then add diced red onions and potatoes. This way you hardly need extra cooking oil( Olive oil, if you must). You can add shresdded cabbage for some fiber. Add water or chicken broth, boil and serve with bread.
