Looking for more subtle ways to get bacon into your diet? Try this easy, yet really yummy potato and bacon soup recipe. There is a tin of corn in it too, just for an extra twist.

This recipe is simple to prepare but has a lot of flavors. And, it’s perfect for chilly nights around the campfire. 

Another favorite thing about this recipe for camping is that if you buy the bacon in a vacuum sealed package, all the ingredients travel really well, with measurements equal to their sold sealed volume.
