THICK AND CREAMY POTATO BACON SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook bacon using preferred method until crisp. (I bake thick cut bacon on a cooling rack over a sheet pan so that it remains flat). Allow to cool and chop or crumble into small pieces. Reserve several tablespoons of drippings.
• Place a large soup pot or heavy casserole over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp. bacon drippings and cook onions, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, stirring often. (Add more bacon drippings if onion looks dry. This will depend on the size of your pot and particular onion.)
• Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally for a few minutes. When everything is sizzling nicely, add enough stock to just cover potatoes. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
• Mash potatoes roughly with a potato masher. Scoop out about half of the remaining mixture and puree in a blender (in batches!) or food processor. (Or if you've got an immersion blender, go for it with that.) Make sure to leave a good bit of the potatoes chunky, for texture.
• Add butter and heavy cream. Stir to combine well. Taste for seasoning and add more stock if soup is too thick for your liking. When the consistency is right for you, stir in bacon and bring to just a bare simmer, stirring often.
• Serve hot. Garnish with additional crumbled bacon and some chives or green onions.

MOM'S CREAM OF POTATO SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• 1. In a large dutch oven or boiling pot place your potatoes , onions and celery and cover with just enough water to be about 1" above the potatoes. Add the garlic and pepper but NOT the salt yet. Cover the pot with the lid ajar and bring to a hard boil.
• 2. Mean while cut up your bacon into about 1" pieces and fry over medium / high heat.
• 3. Fry the bacon pieces until it's nicely browned & crisp.
• 4. Once the bacon has become really crisp but not burnt , than you pour grease and all the bacon into your boiled potatoes and veggies. Yes I said grease and all!! Be careful because the hot grease hitting the boiling water will splatter up.
• 5. Once the veggies are tender (about 20 minutes) pull off the burner and add the canned milk. Now this is when you salt your soup ( if you salt it before adding the milk you take a chance of the milk curdling).
• 6. To thicken up the soup add the instant potatoes , the amount depends on how thick you like your soup to be. Add a little than stir up and wait to give it time to swell and thicken your soup up , if it's not thick enough add some more. If you get it too thick just add milk. This is when I will sample it and make sure that it's got enough seasoning to my liking , if not I add more salt and garlic powder.
• 7. Note : This soup freezes really good for another quick meal. My sister makes a clam cowder by adding clams and corn to this soup.

POTATO BACON SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cook potatoes and onion in chicken broth along with just enough water to cover potatoes and onions.
• 2. Cook until tender. Once tender, I used a potato masher to mash a few to make the soup kinda thick. (Don't mash ALL the potatoes because you still want chunks of potato in the soup!)
• 3. Add cubes of cream cheese. Remove from heat until cheese is melted. Return to low/medium heat.
• 4. Add half the bacon, soups, butter, and spices.
• 5. Cook for another 10 or so minutes. This is when you can add the optional milk if you want a thinner soup.
• 6. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon pieces. I also used a little green onion to garnish. ***I added a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese to the soup when adding the bacon, soups, butter & spices... just because we love the cheddar taste! ****

CREAMY POTATO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Boil the veggies. Peel the potatoes (2 large potatoes, about 2 lbs) and dice them. I like a fairly small dice, about 1/2 inch. Place in a stock pot or 3 quart pot. If you have not quite 4 cups of potatoes, or more like 5 cups, don't sweat it that's fine.
• Peel the carrots and dice about the same size as the potatoes. Add to the pot.
• Smash and mince 1 clove of garlic and add to the pot.
• Add 3 cups of water to the potatoes and carrots. The water should be just barely covering the vegetables, so add a little more or less to make sure they are just barely covered. (We are not draining these potatoes, this water will be part of the soup.)
• Add a heaping tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon Base. The Roasted Chicken flavor is great, but I also love the Turkey base, it has really rich flavor. If you don't have Better than Bouillon, you can use a couple teaspoons of bouillon granules or cubes. Those are much saltier than the paste so be careful.
• Chop about 1/4 cup fresh parsley, or use 1 tablespoon dried parsley. Add it to the pot.
• Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium to keep it at a steady simmer. Vent the lid (tilt it so that steam can escape.) Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are very tender. You should be able to smash one with a fork easily. Remove from heat.
• Use a potato masher and roughly mash the mixture to your desired texture. I like a velvety soup with some chunks. You can leave it very chunky by not mashing at all, or if you want an ultra smooth soup you can use an immersion blender.
• Make the white sauce (bechamel). Meanwhile, in a 2 quart pot or larger, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Once it is melted, add 1/2 cup flour and use a whisk to stir it together into a paste. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook this mixture for 1-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Slowly add the 4 cups of milk, 1 cup at a time. Use the whisk to incorporate the milk into the roux (roux=butter/flour mixture) every time you add more. See photos. It should take a few minutes to add all the milk.* If you dump it in all at once, you will have flour chunks in your soup. Don't be like that.
• Once all the milk is added, keep stirring often so the bottom doesn't scorch. Your heat should still be on medium. Wait until the mixture has come to a boil (consistent bubbles rising from the center) and then let boil for 1 minute, stirring. Remove from heat.
• Pour the white sauce into the pot with the potatoes, using a spatula to scrape all that goodness in. Stir the mixture together.
• Serve warm and garnish with extra chopped parsley, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Don't freeze this soup! The potatoes absorb tons of moisture, making the white sauce separate, and then it gets grainy on you. No thanks. Time to invite a friend over for soup and stories. I mean shouldn't that be a thing anyway?

PERFECT POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Add the bacon pieces to a soup pot over medium heat and cook until crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside. Pour off most of the grease, but do not clean the pot.
• Return the pot to medium-high heat and add the carrots, celery and onions. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or so, then add the diced potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with the Cajun spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook until the potatoes are starting to get tender, about 10 minutes. Whisk together the milk and flour, then pour the mixture into the soup and allow the soup to cook for another 5 minutes.
• Remove about half of the soup and blend in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Pour it back into the soup pot and stir to combine. Let it heat back up as you taste for seasoning, adding more of what it needs. Stir in the cream, then the parsley,
• Serve in bowls garnished with the grated cheese and crisp bacon pieces. The soup can also be frozen.
