Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 cups of diced potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work great!)
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Let’s Get It Cookin’!
Follow these steps to bring this scrumptious soup to life:
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain the grease, but keep the bacon drippings in the pot—this is where the flavor is!
- Add the diced onions to the pot and cook them in the bacon drippings until they’re soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Next, toss in the diced potatoes and stir everything together. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher or fork to mash some of the potatoes in the pot—this gives the soup that perfect creamy texture while still having some bite!
- Stir in the heavy cream and the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, serve it up hot with the crispy bacon crumbled on top and a sprinkle of green onions if you’re feeling fancy!
There you have it! This Easy Cheesy Potato Bacon Soup is rich, creamy, and oh-so-delicious. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner, and honestly, it’ll have you going back for seconds—maybe even thirds! Enjoy, my friends!
