Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 slices bacon cut in half
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 pounds medium russet potatoes 2-3, scrubbed and diced
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup snipped chives or finely chopped scallion greens

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain, leaving the oil and bacon drippings in the pan. Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer about half the potatoes to a bowl and mash until almost smooth, but still a little chunky. Return the mashed potatoes to the pan along with sour cream, 1/4 cup cheese and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve garnished with crumbled bacon, the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and chives (or scallion greens).

    Another winner, Marilyn:)
    Thank you for sharing! There’s nothing like a good bowl of rich potato soup to fortify the body and the mind. This is a great accompaniment to garden salads with light dressings.
    Cheers!

    Your soup looks delicious, Marilyn! Being half Irish I love potatoes! My father would buy a 25 pund bag of them at the Farmer’s market and we’d have potatoes at almost every meal.

      That story sounds so much like mine. We had some sort of protein and potatoes at every meal. It was frugal. As I grew up I had a wash pan where I grew potatoes. The purple flowers were gorgeous. Enjoy your evening.
