ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP



Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup image

I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

EASY CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP W/ CRISP BACON



Easy Creamy, Cheesy Potato Soup W/ Crisp Bacon image

This soup is fabulous, and much easier than the more complicated, time-intensive potato soup that I sometimes make. It is easy to throw together on a weekday night, or for lunch. You can, of course, use real potatoes (2 cups potatoes, skinned and cut into cubes), but I find it is even easier, and just as delicious, to use canned, sliced potatoes. It is a filling, creamy, and hearty soup, one that can easily be served alone for a complete meal. Although shared with me by my sister-in law, it actually originally came from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, and then has been adjusted by me. You will love this soup - as my husband says, "This soup is awesome!!!! "

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Use russet potatoes for a creamy texture, and thick-cut bacon for a smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes or bacon to the pot, the soup will be too thick. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon adds a lot of flavor to the soup. Cook it until it's browned and crispy, but not burnt.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to become tender.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

This bacon potato soup is a hearty, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a soup that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this bacon potato soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
