Potato Soup
This recipe is for a very basic, but filling potato soup. Feel free to top it off with cheese and green onions - or whatever you like (sour cream, hot sauce and additional bacon would be great)!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon diced
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth 32 oz.
- 2 large baking potatoes cubed
- ½ cup heavy cream or milk
- Cheddar cheese and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
- Add the onion and cook until tender. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minutes. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add broth while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Lower the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer and add the potatoes, bacon and heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil.
- Serve topped with cheese and green onions.
Notes
- I love the potato chunks here!
