If you’re looking for a warm and comforting soup that will satisfy your cravings, look no further than this delicious potato soup with bacon and cheddar cheese. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for a cozy night in.
To make this soup, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 6 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened. Add the potatoes and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Stir in the milk and cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with the crispy bacon and additional shredded cheese, if desired. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread for dipping.
