Super Easy Potato Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 -6 potatoes
1 (2 2/3 ounce) packet mccormicks original country gravy mix
1 onion, chopped
bacon bits
shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Cut potatoes into small pieces, add onion and boil in water just covering potatoes, about 20 minutes or until done. DO NOT DRAIN.
Mix 1 packet of original country gravy in small amount of water until lumps are gone.
Add to potatoes, slowly and heat until thickened (about 5 mins or so). If soup still looks watery, add another packet of country gravy.
Some people have used 1/2 cup spud flakes to make it thicker also but I haven't needed it.
Serve hot, topped with bacon bits and shredded cheese.
