Yummy Potato Soup
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 3 -4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1⁄4 cup bacon bits
directions
- Peel the potatoes and cube them up. Boil until soft.
- Drain and then mash to desired consistency.
- In separate pan, melt butter, add flour. This will thicken it to a few chunks of paste. Make sure you have the milk ready before this.
- Add half of the milk and bring to a boil, stirring once it starts to bubble at the sides to prevent it from scorching.
- Add in the rest of the milk, starting to stir again when it starts to bubble at the sides.
- Remove from heat. Throw in the chicken bouillon, salt & pepper, as well as garlic & onion.
- Pour this mixture over the potatoes and stir.
- While still warm but removed from heat, add in cheese and bacon bits/pieces and stir well to avoid having the cheese settle at the bottom of the pan.
- The cheese thickens the soup a bit so add in your extra tablespoon of milk if you want it runnier. Also, if you want more of a bacon flavor, you can add the bacon bits into the milk mixture when you first start making it.

I boiled the potatoes in low-sodium chicken broth and left out the bouillon and salt and replaced bacon with 1/2 cup cubed ham. I included the fourth cup each of sour cream and chives. This was very easy to make and nice and thick like I like it! Thanks for sharing your recipe Cypress. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011.
