Haven't had this in ages but my sister, Candy, used to make this all the time (of course we drank a few beers while she was making it, so it came our quite different each time but it was always delicious). Sometimes she would put in ham rather than bacon, and she always added a can of kidney beans and a whole 5# bag of russet potatoes (they hold up better than red potatoes).

Good recipe here but no MARGARINE (YUK) use real butter, and no canned soups (broths) use Wylers chicken or beef bouillon cubes and melt the cubes in hot water then add to the soupy mixture after the roux has been stirred in because you might need to make up more roux if you like a thick soup.
