Baked potato soup

 My toaster oven I can cook two things at once.  

I like to cut the bacon in half.

Potatos

Put the bacon on the wire rack. Slide on top of the potato so the spuds can bathe in the bacon grease. Cook both  for about a half hour.

Pot of love and leftovers 

Fry up some mushrooms and throw the sliced bacon in to crisp up. Set aside in a bowl once done.

Dice up the potato. Mix with an emersion blender. Season as you are doing this. Salt, lots of pepper, and tonight I used Italian seasoning. I used half and half for the liquid. Just keep adding the liquid till it is how you want your soup. Then put in the bowl of mushroom and bacon.

That is the soup, the other bowl is freshly grated Irish white cheddar. Cheese makes everything better.
