This recipe is from Kayotic Kitchen and, sadly, I didn’t get a picture because I completely forgot. Mine also didn’t look quite as pretty as Kay’s due to the color the bacon added to the soup. If you like tater tots, and you like soup, you’ll probably like this. It tastes like tater tots in soup form. Good comfort food for a gray, rainy day.
