Anybody care to share Potato Soup? (I know it's summer but...I love this stuff.) 
I found this recipe online. I'm *hoping* this is similar to the potato soup that, long ago, our neighbor generously brought over in a large mason jar. Surprise! It was fantastic. I'd never had it thickened or with bacon in it. I've been longing for it ever since. (However, I don't think BASIL was in hers. She has passed on so I can't ask her.) My mother's was simply boiled onions/potatoes, drained, then milk and butter added, s & p. Good but nothing like the neighbors which was heavenly!
Again, this recipe is untested by me so far; I just found it. It caught my eye whilst surfing the web -- because it looked like it might be similar to our lovely neighbors. BTW: Sharing soup and chili beans in a mason jar brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. People used to do that lots...sigh. (Some of the BEST memories of food come from shared mason jars...don't you think?)
