Cream of Potato & Bacon Soup

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Broth (Seasoned)
  • Potato (Yellow Fleshed)
  • Capital Thick Cut Bacon
  • Onion
  • Green Onion
  • Garlic
  • Parsley
  • Olive Oil
  • White Wine
  • Heavy Cream (>30%)
  1. Bring a pot of chicken broth to a boil. Add some peeled and chopped yellow-fleshed potatoes to the broth and cook until tender. The smaller you chop the potatoes, the faster they will cook!
  2. Roughly chop half an onion, a couple green onion straws, 2-3 cloves of garlic, and a handful of Parsley. Add these to a food processor and make a chunky salsa out of them. Use Olive oil to aid the blending process.
  3. Over medium-low heat, begin to sauté the mixture, and add a splash of white wine as needed if the mixture looks a bit dry.
  4. In a separate pan, cook some roughly chopped Capital Thick Cut Bacon until golden and crispy. Finely chop in a food processor, or chop finely with a knife.
  5. Combine the sautéed veggie mixture and crumbled bacon bits in a pan over medium-low heat.
  6. Using a hand blender, puree the potatoes in the chicken broth until smooth. Add the bacon/onion mixture to the soup, and stir. Slowly bring the soup to a boil, and add heavy cream until the desired colour and richness is achieved. If the soup is too runny, just boil it for longer!
  7. Serve with a hearty slice of toasted sourdough bread!
