INSTANT POT® POTATO AND BACON SOUP
Comforting homemade potato soup in the Instant Pot®. While peeling potatoes is not hard, it is a task I very much dislike, so I chose to use red potatoes in my recipe. No peeling necessary and they stay a pretty bright red for added color. Wobbly bacon is another dislike of mine and with this treatment of the bacon, you get all of the flavor throughout the soup and still get to keep the crispy goodness to use on top for garnish.

CANADIAN BACON POTATO SOUP
Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Identifying a Canadian recipe, for an American, was difficult. Good thing I found at least one good one, on the internet. St. Ives makes a wonderful vegetarian substitute for Canadian Bacon. Lower in fat than the original (which I understand is still pretty low in fat). This is a diabetic recipe, from Taste of Home's Light and Tasty. Exchanges: 1 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 vegetable. I have not tried this yet, but I will. Butter granules are new to me; I might as well experiment.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for this soup, as they hold their shape well and create a creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and ruin the texture of the soup.
- Use good quality Canadian bacon: Canadian bacon is the key ingredient in this soup, so make sure to use a good quality brand. Thick-cut Canadian bacon will add more flavor and texture to the soup.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is another important ingredient in this soup. Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well. Grated cheese will melt more smoothly than shredded cheese.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
Conclusion:
This Canadian bacon potato soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
