Baked Potato Soup

It was a nice rainy day, and the temps hit about 85 instead of the 105 we'd been having, so I decided it would be a good day for crock pot potato soup.

4 large or 6 medium potatoes
1 can chicken broth
1 can condensed milk
1/2 package bacon
1 package instant potatoes

Cook potatoes in microwave until soft, put in freezer to cool. Cook bacon over medium high heat. I like mine chewy, cook yours to whatever texture you like. Empty can of milk into crock pot. Once cool, remove pulp from two potatoes and discard skin. Quarter and chop remaing potatoes, skin on and add to milk. Add chicken broth to desired thickness. Salt and pepper to taste.

This time that I made it, I added too much liquid and instead of baking another potato, I just added some instant mashed potatoes.

Top with your favorite cheese and green onions if you like em!!
