Check out this mouthwatering image of our soup! It’s creamy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor. Trust me, you’re gonna want a big bowl of this!
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a veggie version)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions with a bit of oil until they become translucent. This’ll bring out that sweet onion flavor!
- Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let that cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, you can mash them a bit with a potato masher or blend them for a creamier texture. It’s all about the vibe you want, so do what feels right!
- Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Let it melt beautifully into the soup for that cheesy goodness.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is where you can really make it your own, so don’t hold back!
- Finally, ladle that glorious soup into bowls and top with chopped green onions and more crumbled bacon if you’re feelin’ fancy.
And there you have it, folks! A bowl of Easy Potato Soup that’s rich, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying. Perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in. Pair it with some crusty bread, and you’ve got yourself a hearty meal. Enjoy, y’all!
