Potato Soup

5 baking potatoes, peeled, cut up, and boiled until tender
1 pkg real bacon pieces
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 pkg shredded cheese
milk ( I don't measure)
heavy cream (again, I don't measure, but the smallest would work fine)
1/3 cup flour
1 stick butter
salt/pepper

When the potatoes are almost done cooking, in a separate pan melt the butter and add flour to it, making a roux. When the flour and butter are incorporated together, add heavy cream (enough to make it still liquid--the flour will thicken things up, but you don't want it too thick.) After the potatoes are done, drain them and return the pot to the stove. Salt and pepper at this point. Add the chopped onions , 1/2 of the cheese, and 1/2 the pkg of bacon pieces--stir gently. I pour the heavy cream mixture over the potatoes, and then add milk on top of that to the desired consistency. Then turn your heat on low or turn your crock pot on low and let simmer for a while, stirring occasionally if not in the crock pot. Add more salt and pepper as desired. When finished, garnish with the left over bacon pieces and the shredded cheese.
