Easy Potato Soup
An outstanding, easy potato soup recipe made with real food ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 5-6 strips bacon
- 6-8 medium potatoes peeled & chopped
- 4 c. chicken stock
- 2 c. milk
- 2-3 tbsp. flour or arrowroot powder
- 2 c. cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, add bacon and turn on medium heat. Cook for 5 – 10 minutes on each side, until crispy.
- Remove bacon from pot, and add onion. Saute about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add chicken stock and potatoes. Turn to medium-low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
- Using a potato mashed, roughly mash the potatoes, leaving some chunks.
- Mix milk and flour or arrowroot powder together. (Arrowroot makes it gluten-free.) Add it slowly to the soup, stirring as it thickens. Add a small amount more milk and/or flour until it is the thickness you prefer.
- Add cheddar cheese and cooked, crumbled bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
