" Better Than A Baked Potato" Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 -5 large red potatoes
    1 small onion, chopped
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
    8 ounces sour cream
    8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into small pieces
    white pepper
    salt
    1 dash liquid smoke
    cheddar cheese
    chives
    crumbled bacon or bacon bits
Preparation
    Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. Put potatoes in soup pot along with onion, celery, and chicken broth. If there is not enough broth to cover the veggies, add a little water.
    Cover, bring to a boil, and let simmer for approximately 20 minutes, until vegetables soften.
    If you like thicker soup, drain off SOME of the liquid. If you like thinner soup, leave it as is and proceed.
    Use a potato masher to mash up the spuds. Mash more or less depending on how creamy or chunky you like your soup.
    Add white pepper, salt, and Liquid Smoke to taste.
    Add sour cream and Velveeta, heat and stir until cheese melts. Dip the soup into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, chives, and bacon bits.
    Eat and smile :).
