Potato Soup With Cheese Bacon And Sausage Food

EASY CHEESY POTATO BACON SOUP

Steps:

• Add bacon pieces to a large pot. Turn heat to medium and cook until bacon is cooked through but only slightly crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate and set aside.
• Spoon off and discard all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Add onions and celery to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring often and scraping any browned cooked-on bits from the bottom of the pan, for about 5 minutes, until the onions have just begun to turn translucent around the edges.
• Add potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer and then cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes can be easily smashed against the side of the pot with a fork.
• Use a potato masher or spatula to roughly smash about half of the potatoes in the pot.
• In a medium pot, over medium heat, melt butter and then add flour. Cook, whisking continuously, until flour begins to turn lightly golden, about 1 minute.
• Slowly drizzle in milk, whisking constantly as you go to whisk out any lumps. Cook, whisking continuously, until mixture is thickened and bubbly around the edges, about 5 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and slowly whisk in cheese, a handful at a time. Once all your cheese is melted, stir the cheese sauce into the soup. Add pepper. Taste the soup and add salt if needed.
• Add about ¾ of the bacon to the soup (reserve ¼ for topping) and stir everything together.
• Ladle into bowls, top with sour cream, reserved bacon, sliced green onions, and more cheese if desired. Enjoy!

CREAMY POTATO BACON SOUP

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add onion, garlic, and celery to the bacon fat and cook 3-4 minutes or until onion softens slightly.
• Stir in chicken broth, potatoes, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook covered 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in cream and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
• Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Whisk into the simmering soup and simmer 1 minute. Stir in half of the bacon. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
• Spoon into bowls, top with parmesan cheese, remaining bacon and green onions.

CREAMY SAUSAGE & POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Add oil to your soup pot on medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add diced bacon, onion, and sausages. Sauté, stirring frequently, until onion is tender and bacon is fully cooked. You should see some browning on your sausages.
• Add chicken stock and potatoes (peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes) to the soup pot. Season with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme (or dried chives). Bring to boiling and cook for approximately 5 - 8 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Be careful to not overcook your potatoes or you'll end up decreasing the amount of chicken stock you have.
• Once cooked, remove 1 to 2 cups of the diced potatoes from chicken stock. (Going with 2 cups will give you a thicker finished soup. It's okay if a little onion or bacon gets mixed in but don't pull out any of the sausage.) Blend with 1/2 cup canned coconut milk until smooth. The consistency will be close to thick mashed potatoes. Add back to your soup and stir until well combined. Now your soup is creamy! Taste and add more salt if desired.
