Potato Soup
Nothing is better in the fall and winter than a big bowl of comforting potato soup. I love to have it with cheese and bacon garnished on top. I love it plain or with a piece of cornbread. I am sure that you will love this!
Medium onion chopped up
6 gold potatoes diced in 1 inch squares
1/3 c. all purpose flour
4 c. chicken broth
2 c. milk
2/3 c. cream
1 tsp. black pepper
2/3 c. sour cream
9. shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Place bacon pieces in a large soup pot over medium heat and cook until bacon is crisp and browned.
Remove bacon pieces and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
Add butter and chopped onion and cook over medium heat until onions are tender (5 minutes).
Sprinkle the flour over the ingredients in the pot and stir until smooth (use whisk if needed).
Add diced potatoes to the pot along with chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper. Stir well.
Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork (about 10 minutes).
Reduce heat to simmer and remove approximately half*** of the soup to a blender (be careful, it will be hot!) and puree until smooth (half is about 5 cups of soup, but just eyeballing the amount will be fine. Alternatively you can use an immersion blender.).
Return the pureed soup to the pot and add sour cream and reserved bacon pieces, stir well.
Allow soup to simmer for 15 minutes before serving.
Top with additional sour cream, bacon, cheddar cheese, or chives. Enjoy!
