Description

A delicious and easy potato soup that’s perfect for cozy nights.


Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar or preference
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter


Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Using a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes for a creamy texture, leaving a few chunks for character.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, topped with cheese and crumbled bacon.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap chicken broth for vegetable broth and omit bacon. Try coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
