CREAMY POTATO SOUP

This old fashioned, comforting potato soup is seriously hearty. Loaded up with bits of crisp salty bacon, rich cream, and sharp cheese. One bowl of this gloriously filling soup will warm you up on the coldest of days!

INGREDIENTS

COOK BACON

Add the bacon to a large dutch oven or pot and cook over medium high heat until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside, leave the grease in the pot.

SAUTE ONION

Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and allow this to cook for about 2-3 minutes. 

CREATE BROTH

Pour in the chicken stock, milk and cream. Stir in the diced potatoes. Bring the pot to a simmer and cook stirring occasionally until the potatoes are softened and easily mashed.

Garnish

With the heat still off, stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese. Return the bacon to the soup. Stir to combine. Serve warm with any additional toppings of your choice.

top tips

Dice the potatoes fairly small. This helps them to cook up quicker.  Sneak in more veggies: since this is a great family dinner recipe, feel free to sneak in some extra vegetables, peas and carrots are a great option.
