I have had many requests to post this yummy soup recipe

Cheesy Cream of Potato Soup
3 cans chicken broth
6 cups peeled, thinly sliced potatoes
1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
1 (2 cup) package cheese
16 oz. heavy whip cream
1 1/2 cups milk

Bring broth, salt, pepper, and potatoes to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender but not mushy. Then add whip cream and milk to broth and potatoes. Bring all ingredients back up to a simmer. Then add the cheese. Stir until melted. Then in a separate cup, add 3 TBS. cornstarch and a little bit of water to make a smooth paste. Add to the simmering soup. Might need to add more cornstarch and water until you have a thickened consistency you are happy with. Then sprinkle with real bacon bits or some cooked crumbled bacon. Also can top with some green onion and shredded cheddar cheese. Serve with a piece of bread or a roll.
