Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (4 sticks) butter

Bring to a light simmer, then add the remaining 2 sticks butter and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes. Add the entire mix to a blender and blend until smooth. Pass through a fine chinois or mesh strainer and keep warm.

Tips:

  • For a creamy soup, use a high-quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the soup a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have any russet potatoes on hand, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes instead. They will cook up just as well and have a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • To make the soup even more flavorful, use bacon that has been smoked over wood chips. The smoky flavor will add depth to the soup.
  • If you don't have any fresh parsley on hand, you can use dried parsley instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried parsley is more concentrated.

Conclusion:

Cheddar potato soup with bacon is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, creamy or chunky, there is a cheddar potato soup recipe out there for you.
