Categories     Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb white potato, cubed
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup bacon, sliced (imitation bacon can be used for vegetarians)
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk (12 oz.)
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 pinches nutmeg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, saute the bacon over medium heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Next, add the white onion and saute over medium heat until onions become translucent. Add the diced potatoes along with the olive oil and continue to saute for about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring frequently. When the potatoes begin to soften, add the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan (to deglaze).
  • Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, checking on it every 5 minutes or so. Next, add the evaporated milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir so that ingredients are well mixed. At this time, you can use a hand held blender to puree the soup. If you don't have a hand held blender, use a food processor and pulse blend for a couple of minutes. You may add a bit more chicken stock if it seems too thick.
  • When the soup is well blended and velvety, add back the bacon as well as the parsley and stir well. Simmer for a couple more minutes and then taste for proper seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted. Serve hot, adding some of the scallions for garnish and a small pad of butter. Serve with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy.
