Are you looking for a delicious and easy-to-make soup that will warm your heart and soul? Look no further! Our creamy potato soup is the perfect choice. It’s rich, flavorful, and oh-so-comforting. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bacon
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by crisping the bacon in a dutch oven or large saucepan. Once it’s nice and crispy, set it aside for later. Don’t worry about draining the fat – we’ll be using it to cook the onions.
2. In the same pan, cook the diced onions in the bacon fat until they’re soft and translucent. This will add a lovely depth of flavor to our soup.
3. Now it’s time to add our liquid! Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and whisk until it’s smooth and well combined with the onions.
4. Stir in the diced potatoes and let them simmer in the flavorful broth until they’re fork-tender. This will infuse the potatoes with all the deliciousness from the broth.
5. Once the potatoes are cooked, it’s time to give our soup that creamy texture we all love. You have two options here: you can either use a potato masher to mash the potatoes right in the pot, or you can transfer the soup to a blender and blend it until it reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier soup, go for the potato masher. If you want it super smooth and velvety, opt for the blender.
6. After mashing or blending, pour in the heavy cream and stir until it’s well incorporated. The cream will give our soup that luxurious, velvety texture that will make you want to savor every single spoonful.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to oversalt at first – you can always add more later if needed. A little sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley on top can also add a touch of freshness to the dish.
8. Finally, crumble the crispy bacon that you reserved earlier and sprinkle it on top of the soup. The bacon will not only add a delicious crunch, but it will also take the flavor to a whole new level.

Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy a bowl of this warm and comforting creamy potato soup. It’s the perfect meal for a cozy night in or a gathering with loved ones. We hope this recipe brings you as much joy as it brings us. Happy cooking!
