EASY CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP W/ CRISP BACON



Easy Creamy, Cheesy Potato Soup W/ Crisp Bacon image

This soup is fabulous, and much easier than the more complicated, time-intensive potato soup that I sometimes make. It is easy to throw together on a weekday night, or for lunch. You can, of course, use real potatoes (2 cups potatoes, skinned and cut into cubes), but I find it is even easier, and just as delicious, to use canned, sliced potatoes. It is a filling, creamy, and hearty soup, one that can easily be served alone for a complete meal. Although shared with me by my sister-in law, it actually originally came from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, and then has been adjusted by me. You will love this soup - as my husband says, "This soup is awesome!!!! "

1 tablespoon dried parsley
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked and chopped

Tips:

  • Use a good quality potato. Russet potatoes are a good choice for this soup, as they are starchy and will help to thicken the soup.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good choices.
  • Add plenty of cheese. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice for potato soup, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Gruyère.
  • Don't forget the crispy bacon! Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Chopped chives or parsley are a nice touch.

Conclusion:

Potato soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and hearty soup, give this potato soup with crispy bacon a try!
