6 slices thin bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 carrots, scrubbed clean and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
6 small russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon Cajun spice mix, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 cup grated Cheddar

Steps:

  • 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.

PIONEER WOMAN PERFECT POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Pioneer Woman Perfect Potato Soup Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by kdet

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 slices thin bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 whole medium onion, diced
3 whole carrots, scrubbed clean and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
6 whole small russet potatoes, peeled and diced
8 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
Black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon cajun spice mix
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 cup grated cheese of your choice

Steps:

  • Add bacon pieces to a soup pot over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp and 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 to medium-high heat and add the onions, carrots, and celery. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or so, then add the diced potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Cajun spice. Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to get tender. Whisk together the flour and the milk, then pour into the soup and allow the soup to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove half to 2/3 the soup and blend in batches in a blender/food process until completely smooth, being careful not to splash yourself with the hot soup (if possible, allow soup to cool slightly before blending). Pour it back into the soup pot and stir to combine. Let it heat back up as you taste for seasonings, adding more of what it needs. Stir in cream, then stir in parsley, reserving a little for garnish. Serve in bowls garnished with parsley, grated cheese and crisp bacon pieces.

Tips

  • Use russet potatoes: They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still have a little bite to them.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: It will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time: The carrots and celery should be added first, followed by the onion. This will allow the vegetables to cook evenly.
  • Don't be afraid to add some herbs and spices: A little bit of thyme, rosemary, or sage can really enhance the flavor of the soup.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of grated cheese: This will add a delicious finishing touch.
