Hearty Potato, Bacon and Onion Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2008
This is a delicious soup recipe base--streamlined, tasty, and nutritious. Thanks, Rita! I modified this recipe to create my first successful cream soup. I don't eat meat, and so substituted finely sliced garlic, green onions, and minced celery for the bacon. I started by sauteing the yellow onions, added the celery and green onions, and then added the garlic after the onions had softened so it wouldn't burn and become bitter. I didn't have bouillon on hand, but the vegetables made up for it. I added salt to taste to replace the salt from the bouillon. I substituted plain yogurt and a dash of lime juice for the sour cream. I took the advice of another reviewer and added several ladles of the hot soup to the separate bowl containing the egg/yogurt mixture. I mixed that well, and then returned the mixture to the hot soup pot. I took the suggestion of several others and added cayenne pepper. My partner loved it! The cayenne pepper is a keeper!
