Super Bowl of Potato Soup!

First; I don't want any smart ass comments! I am doing this for all the die hard Steeler fans that will have to endure the torture of watching any other team play this Sunday!

1-1/2 cups of chopped onion
5-6 medium potato's (peeled and chopped)
1/2 cup of chopped celery
1 -32 oz. carton of chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups half and half (one cup fat-free half and half)
1- 8 oz. bag of shredded cheddar cheese (2 cups)
Bacon bits

In a skillet, cook onion in 1 cup of water with approximately 20-30 bacon bits.

Spray your crock-pot or use liners (great new product). Add your broth,potato's, onions/bacon bit (water drained), celery, salt and pepper.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours, covered.

Mix your flour and half & half with a wire whisk until blended and stir into soup. Increase your heat to high and cook for 30 more minutes, covered or until thickened. Stir in your cheese until melted and smooth.

Can top, when served, with additional bacon bits.

Secondly; if I find this on the menu at Pittsburgh's best Deli and Catering service, I will expect a large sum of money! I don't want to name name's but Strictly Business Catering- http://www.strictlybusinesscatering.com, might just be re-named "Chris's- Strictly Business Catering!"

ENJOY!
