Potato and Wild Rice Soup

This is from a cookbook called 'Feeding the Preacher' that was put together by preaching student wives at the Memphis School of Preaching.
It was a fund raiser. The book is full of fantastic 'Pot Luck' recipes. this recipe was given to me by a friend

1 (10.5 oz) can of cream of potato soup (condensed)
3 slices bacon (more is good)
1 pkg. Rice-A-Roni wild rice with seasoning
2 T minced onion
2 C milk
1 C grated cheese

Cook rice according to package directions. Cook bacon and set aside after breaking into pieces. Saute' onion in bacon grease then discard grease. After rice is cooked, combine all ingredients. Heat until cheese is melted. Add milk or water for thinner consistency.


That's the recipe. Now here's what my friend does.... Use 2 cans of soup. Cut up and cook down a few potatoes and add them to it. Just up the milk / water if you add more soup / potatoes.
