Creamy Potato Soup With Bacon Recipes

CREAMY POTATO SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed stock pot, cook the bacon until just crispy.
• Add in the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft. About 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in the flour into the vegetable mixture. Then very slowly add the chicken stock. It works best to add a few tablespoons at a time, whisking throughout in between. This should take about two minutes at the most.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and add in the potatoes. Turn down the heat to a simmer, stirring regularly, and cook until the potatoes are fork tender. About 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure the heat is very low. If it is too high, too much of the liquid will evaporate.
• Stir in the milk and allow the milk to cook through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Top with cheddar cheese, bacon, and diced scallions. 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.

• 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 POTATO & BACON SOUP (WHOLE30)

Steps:

• 1. Cook bacon in a large saucepan and then remove the bacon to paper towels and leave the grease. I have also cooked the bacon in the microwave in a microwave safe plate lined with paper towels then squeezed the grease out of the paper towels into the pot I cook the soup inches Works fine that way too.
• 2. Saute the onions in the bacon grease for 4 minutes or until they are tender.
• 3. Sprinkle with arrowroot starch then cook and stir for about 1 minute.
• 4. Slowly add chicken broth while stirring.
• 5. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil.
• 6. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender.
• 7. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. If you like chunks of potato, don't mash much. If you like it less chunky, mash a lot. If you like it creamier, you can use an immersion blender.
• 8. Add nutritional yeast and stir.
• 9. Add coconut milk and stir.
• 10. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and crumbled bacon.
• 11. Additional toppings could include green onions, fresh basil, fresh pico de gallo (shredded cheese or sour cream if you're not on Whole30 and tolerate dairy).
