Easy Potato Soup with Cheddar, Bacon, and Scallions

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:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Let it melt beautifully into the soup for that cheesy goodness.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is where you can really make it your own, so don’t hold back!
  6. 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!
