If you love potato bacon soup but hate taking the time to boil potatoes then this is the perfect recipe for you.
To make this soup I started by bringing some water and milk to a boil in a large pot.
I added some roasted garlic flavoured instant mashed potatoes to the boiling liquid and reduced the heat.
After stirring the potato mixture well I dropped in a brick of cream cheese, real bacon bits and some seasonings.
I left everything to simmer and gave the cream cheese some time to melt.
After about ten minutes of simmering the soup was ready to serve.
This creamy potato bacon soup will warm you up on a cold day.
The bacon bits and cream cheese add tons of flavour to this soup and complement the garlic in the potatoes.
I served this soup with some freshly baked Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits.
