A hearty delicious potato soup sure to hit the spot of comfort.
Prep Time
45 min
Cook Time
15 min
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 1 pound of bacon
- 6 large potatoes diced
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 Chives - fresh or dried. We use dried.
- 1-2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
- 1-2 tablespoons of garlic powder
- Pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Chop bacon into chunks. I usually chop them to about 1" thick each, maybe smaller.
- Toss them into large pot to cook. I use the same pot that I will be cooking the soup in.
- Once the bacon is cooked pull of of the heat add in the potatoes, heavy cream and water w/ chicken bouillon.
- Boil until the potatoes are soft, roughly 8-10 minutes.
- Take out your blender and put in 1/2 - 3/4 of the soup.
- Note: you may need to do a couple of rounds in the blender depending on it's size. Additionally, 1/2-3/4 depends on your desire to have chunks of potato in your soup - if you want it completely smooth add the entire potato mixture.
- Once you have pureed the desired amount return everything to the pot and mix in garlic powder, chives and pepper to taste.
- Allow to simmer another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
