Cheesy Potato Soup

*This is my FAVORITE soup!*

4 med potatoes, cubed

1 onion, chopped

4 C. Water

1/4 C. Butter

3 Tbsp. flour

1/2 C. Milk

2 C. shredded cheese

1 Tsp Salt

1/4 tsp. seasoning salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Combine potatoes, onions, and water in a large pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender. In another pan melt butter , add flour and cook until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat; stir in milk. Return to heat , cook and stir until thickened. Stir slowly into potatoes, add cheese and seasonings.

* I ALWAYS double the recipe ( for leftovers) plus this recipe really doesn't make much unless doubled.

* I always end up using more cheese and salt then called for.

* Also you can double the flour butter mixture to make you soup really thick ,which is how I like mine!

* Also really yummy with crumbled bacon on top.
