ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
- 2 pints heavy whipping cream
- 3 ounces pancetta, diced
- 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, hunks
- 1 teaspoon chicken base
directions
- Dice pancetta bacon and cook in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until crisped. Remove bacon from skillet onto a paper towel and reserve oil.
- Prepare potatoes according to package directions in pancetta oil, except don’t cook as long as required. The potatoes need just a little browning. Remove potatoes from skillet and drain on paper towel.
- Pour heavy cream into a heavy bottom sauce pan. Add potatoes to cream and continue to warm/cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add pancetta and about 4 ounces of the pepper cheese. Finally, add chicken base and continue to warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese has melted. Remove from heat and serve.
- *Taste soup before adding chicken base flavoring. The pancetta is salty and adds a lot of flavor, so if you’re watching your salt intake, you may want to leave out the chicken base.
- Recipe makes 4 servings.
