until carrots are tender, about 2 minutes. Add potato
wedges and sauté for 3 minutes, or until potatoes are
slightly browned. Stir in onions and 3/4 cup bacon bits.
Reduce heat to medium; add cream cheese and stir
until melted. Add milk and cook, gently stirring, until
the soup begins to thicken.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon,
parsley and a sprinkling of Cheddar cheese. Makes
