Bacon, Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup



I am sitting here trying to figure out what soups I should make for our Thanksgiving get together, well after our Thanksgiving meal. When we get together with Casey's family the celebration goes a little longer since the family has to travel farther to see one another. So I  said that I would make a soup or two to have Friday night after we have eaten Thanksgiving lunch together that day. I LOVE making soups. I could eat soup 3 or 4 times a week in the winter.
Here is what I ended up making...

Bacon, mushroom and wild rice soup: This recipe is from my friend Lori :)

1 lb. bacon fried and crumbled
1 lg. onion sautéed in bacon drippings (optional)
2 c. wild rice, cooked
2 cans cream of potato soup
2 cans (lg.) mushrooms & juice
8 oz. american deli slices
1 pt. ½ & ½
1 pt. water

Mix all ingredients except cheese; heat thoroughly & slowly. Add cheese last.
This was a picture I had used when I shared it to facebook. This                                                            recipe is ALWAYS a hit. I am always asked what's in it, then for                                                              the recipe. This was the name my friend gave me, but then I feel                                                                like you should throw in potato and cheese somewhere?!?! Well, it                                                        does have those things, but you got to stop somewhere. Let me just                                                          tell you, ITS SO GOOD! Maybe I should just rename it, SO                                                                    GOOD SOUP? :)
