An easy and delicious creamy potato soup recipe that can be made in just one pot! Loaded with bacon and creamy potato goodness, this is a favorite comfort food in my household.

Savory, creamy, and loaded with bacon, sour cream, and cheese. You guys already know that we don’t exactly do health food around here, right? 

Even when I’m not sharing desserts, the food is always comfort food, and that’s usually best served with extra cheese (have you tried my baked mac and cheese yet!?) and usually comes with a few calories. Let’s not think about that too much, alright?

 

Ingredients :

 6 slices of bacon, divided

 5 Russet potatoes, peeled and diced

 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter

 1 small clove of garlic, finely chopped

 6 green onions, finely chopped

 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

 2 cups milk or more as needed

 1 cup chicken broth (without added salt)

 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

 1/2 cup sour cream

 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 Add green onions, cheese, and bacon for garnish (optional)

 

Preparation :

 

Lay the bacon evenly on a plate lined with two to three layers of paper towel. Cover with a paper towel and microwave until soft and crunchy, about 6 minutes. (You can also do this in a frying pan, remove the bacon and pour it on the paper towels.)

Coarsely cut bacon. Cut up 2-3 tsps for decorate. Sit apart .

If using a pressure cooker, place the prepared potatoes in a steamer basket, over the substrate, with two cups of water. Cook by high pressure for 5 minutes, quickly release and remove the lid.

Melting butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Adding garlic & stirring about 31 seconds. Adding green onions.

Beat in flour until light brown, about 1 minute. Mix gradually in the milk and chicken broth and cook, whisking constantly, until lightly thickened, for 1 to 2 minutes. My heart pressure cooked potatoes.

If you did not use the potato pressure cooker, add it at this time and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add cheese, sour cream, bacon, salt and pepper to taste.

If the soup is too thick, add more milk as needed until you reach the desired consistency.

Serve on the spot, garnished with sliced ​​green onions, grated cheese, and chopped bacon, if desired.

Enjoy !
