Description
A rich and creamy potato soup that’s perfect for cold days and comforting meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Use a potato masher or immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency.

Notes
For a thicker soup, blend it longer until it’s smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup. Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors.
