Potato Cheese Soup

This is for Jamie Burger and Traci Repscher, because they requested that I post this recipe. This is my husbands favorite soup, and I love it too, because he is the one who makes it.

4 medium potatoes, cubed
1 large onion, diced
4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
bacon, crumbled (optional)

Cook potatoes and onion in enough water to cover potatoes. Melt butter in skillet, add flour and heat slowly until it bubbles, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and continue cooking until thickened. Stir in potato, onion, and water mixture and bring slowly to a boil. Add cheese. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt, pepper and bacon.
