CREAMY POTATO BACON SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cut potatoes into approx. 1/2" cubes. Place in a medium sized pot, with just enough water to cover, and let them simmer while preparing the soup base.
• 2. In a heavy, large pot, melt the butter and saute' the onion for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until bubbly and golden. Don't let the butter burn!
• 3. Sprinkle the flour all over the sizzling onions, and stir well. This will be your roux; cook for about 2 minutes on med-low, stirring constantly, until the flour is golden brown. Don't let it burn or stick!
• 4. When the roux is ready, season with garlic powder and s&p. Pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly with a small whisk to get rid of lumps. Stir well, and allow to cook for a minute or two, to 'thicken' a bit. Add the milk to the soup base and blend well.
• 5. Add the shredded carrot and blend. Add the can of "cream of ...." soup - I use either cream of chicken, cream of celery, or cream of mushroom...whatever I have in my pantry!
• 6. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cubed cream cheese, and bacon bits. Drain the potatoes well, and add them to the soup base.
• 7. Cook for another 15 - 20 minutes, until potatoes are completely done, and all the cheddar cheese and cream cheese cubes have melted.
• 8. Using a hand potato masher, make a few stabs into the pot to break up some of the potatoes -- don't mash all of them, as you want chunky potatoes in the soup. The 'mashed' ones will thicken the soup nicely.
• 9. Serve, and garnish with a tiny pinch of shredded carrot, a pinch of bacon bits, and the diced scallions, including some of the green tops, for color.

THICK AND CREAMY POTATO BACON SOUP RECIPE

• 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.

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.

CREAMY POTATO SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed stock pot, cook the bacon until just crispy.
• Add in the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft. About 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in the flour into the vegetable mixture. Then very slowly add the chicken stock. It works best to add a few tablespoons at a time, whisking throughout in between. This should take about two minutes at the most.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and add in the potatoes. Turn down the heat to a simmer, stirring regularly, and cook until the potatoes are fork tender. About 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure the heat is very low. If it is too high, too much of the liquid will evaporate.
• Stir in the milk and allow the milk to cook through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Top with cheddar cheese, bacon, and diced scallions. Enjoy!

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! ****
