3 tbsp granulated chicken bouillon 
5 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 onion chopped                                 
½ bunch celery, chopped
water to cover                                     
1½ lbs bacon, cut into ¼ inch pieces
1 quart milk                                         
1 can evaporated milk
4-5 tbsp cornstarch                            
salt
pepper                                                   
cheddar cheese

In large saucepan place bouillon, potatoes, onion, celery and water to cover.  Bring to boil and simmer 45 minutes  Meanwhile fry bacon until crisp.   Drain and add to soup.  When potatoes are done, mix canned milk and corn starch, add 1 quart milk and pour into potatoes.  Stir and cook 5 min on low to prevent scorching.  Season with salt and pepper.  Garnish with cheese, green onions and/or parsley.  (This makes a lot of soup.  I cut recipe in half for my family and still have leftovers.)
