CHEESY BACON & POTATO SOUP
Prep time 15 mins
Cook time 45 mins
Total time 1 hour
Serves: 6
6 slices of bacon
2 cups chopped carrots
½ cup diced onion
1 (20oz) bag of refrigerated diced potatoes (I used Simply Potatoes)
2 cups of shredded colby-jack cheese (or cheddar)
¼ cup all purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup water
1 cup of milk
Cook bacon in a large pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside to cool....but LEAVE some of the bacon grease!!! That's what we're going to sauté the veggies in!
Add carrots and onion and cook until onions begin to soften (about 3 minutes)
Sir in potatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
Next, stir in broth, water and flour. Continue cooking, stirring constantly until the soup starts to boil and thicken. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes (or until potatoes are tender), stirring occasionally.
Next, stir in milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes. While you wait, chop up your cooked bacon.
Right before serving, mix in chopped bacon, and cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and completely combined.
