ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP

Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup image

I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound bacon, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Tips:

For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender or blend the soup in batches in a regular blender. Avoid over-blending, as this can make the soup gluey.
To save time, use pre-peeled and cubed potatoes. You can also use leftover mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes.
If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, keep in mind that the soup will be thinner and less rich.
To make the soup more flavorful, add a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, celery, salt, and pepper. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a little extra heat.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped chives.
