Potato & Bacon Soup with Dumplings

I first had this soup when my Mother-in-Law,or I should say my Mom,made it for dinner.I was in love instantly! My Father-in-Law taught me how to make it,another reason it is special to me.The recipe has been passed down in his family.I've been making it since last Fall but today I put my own twist on it & added bacon...oh heavenly yumminess!
