Anistasia's recipe for Potato soup.

Dice your spuds into medium size. and put in pot (I like them with the skins on, after all that is where the vitamins are)

add milk to just cover the potatoes and a stick of butter
put on medium heat.

in a small fry pan coated with olive oil add:

diced onion or leeks if you prefer (Nick)
diced bacon.
cook until onions are translucent and bacon is cooked.

drain off the fat and add to the potatoes.

add minced or crushed garlic and seasonings to taste.... i use oregano, salt, lots of pepper
sometimes i'll add diced ham.

cook until potatoes are soft and the milk has become creamy.

ladle into a bowl and add shredded cheese over the top, diced onions if you like a bite, and more pepper.

or if you want to be a bit snobby about it, (Nick) ladle into a bread bowl and serve with golden spoon

Mmmm Mmmmm Good.
