Potato Soup Recipe

The BEST Potato Soup Recipe! This soup is simple to make and full of flavor. It’s my all-time favorite way to make potato soup and a recipe you will want to try. It goes great in a bread bowl topped with cheese, bacon bits, and some chives!

Potato Soup is one of my favorite soups to make. I know I say that about a lot of the soups I make, but this is a huge hit with the whole family. Even my pickiest eater loves this Potato Soup Recipe.

How to Make Potato Soup:

Prep: Start by preparing your potatoes. Wash them and then peel them. Once peeled you will dice them to small chunks.

Cook: You are going to boil the potatoes in the chicken broth until they are tender. Mash them up once tender, and then mix in your other ingredients.

Blend: Use an Immersion Blender to make it smooth and creamy. Top with some cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and chives and enjoy.

Ingredient Notes:

• Russet Potatoes: First washed and then peeled and diced.
• Onion: I used a yellow onion..
• Chicken Broth: I used a low sodium broth for this recipe.
• Salt & Pepper
• Half and Half: I buy this from the store but you can make it using half heavy cream and half milk.
• Sour Cream
• Butter: I used unsalted butter.
• Optional toppings: cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Directions:

Step One – Place peeled and diced and onions into a large pot and cover with chicken broth.

Allow to cook until potatoes are tender.

Step Two – Use a potato masher to start to mash potatoes.

Once potatoes are tender add in remaining ingredients in the order listed.

Step Three – For a thicker soup serve now.

For a creamy soup (like in the pictures) continue to mash or use an immersion blender.

Step Four – Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, and diced green onions.

What to serve with this Easy Potato Soup Recipe:

My kids love this soup. We honestly can eat it by itself, but when I’m feeding my three hungry boys, I sometimes have to make something extra to fill them up.

I love making these Butter Swim Biscuits or Mini Cornbread to serve with any soup I make.

Freezing Instructions:

Cook your soup according to the instructions given but leave out the noodles.

Allow it to cool completely before placing it in a freezer bag or airtight freezer container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

To reheat:

Thaw in the refrigerator first or place in a large pot with 1 cup of broth and allow to cook on low until melted and warmed through.

Make this soup in a Slow Cooker:

This soup is really easy to make in a slow cooker as well as on the stovetop. Here is the link to my Crockpot Potato Soup.
