CANADIAN BACON POTATO SOUP



Canadian Bacon Potato Soup image

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Identifying a Canadian recipe, for an American, was difficult. Good thing I found at least one good one, on the internet. St. Ives makes a wonderful vegetarian substitute for Canadian Bacon. Lower in fat than the original (which I understand is still pretty low in fat). This is a diabetic recipe, from Taste of Home's Light and Tasty. Exchanges: 1 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 vegetable. I have not tried this yet, but I will. Butter granules are new to me; I might as well experiment.

Tips:

  • Use the right kind of potatoes. Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this soup, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bite to them.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth is a good option, but you can also use beef broth if you prefer. Add garlic and bay leaves to the broth for extra flavor.
  • Don't crowd the pot. If you're making a large batch of soup, cook it in batches so that the potatoes and vegetables have room to cook evenly.
  • Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon are all popular options.
