Potato Soup

How to make Potato Soup

THIS IS THE LIST OF ALL INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THIS SOUP:

• Bacon, I used 6 divided slices.
• Russet potatoes, you’ll need 4 to 5, peel and dice them!!!
• 5 large spoons.Of unsalted butter.
• 6 finely chopped green onions.
• 2 Cups.Of milk, plus more as needed.
• 1 Cup.Of chicken broth.
• 1 Cup.Of grated cheddar cheese.
• 1/2 Cup.Of sour cream.
• 1/4 Cup.Of all-purpose flour.
• 1 garlic clove, I chopped it finely.
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

FOR GARNISH, I USED:

• Chopped green onions.
• Chopped cheese.
• Crumbled bacon.

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:

Place the bacon on a plate lined with two or three layers of paper towels and spread it out evenly. Microwave for 6 minutes, covered with a paper towel, until warm and crunchy.

Alternatively, you can also do this in a frying pan and then drain the bacon on paper towels.

Step 2:

Then, place the prepared potatoes in a steamer basket over the substrate with two cups of water if using a pressure cooker. Cook for 5 minutes on high pressure, then immediately release and remove the cover.

Step 3:

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. After few seconds of stirring, add the garlic and chopped Green onions.

Step 4:

And now, add in the flour, and beat in for 1 minute. Cook, whisking continuously, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the milk and chicken broth have thickened slightly.

Step 5:

If you haven’t yet used the potato pressure cooker, do it now and get to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6:

Toss in the cheese, sour cream, bacon, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7:

If the soup is too dense, thin it out with more milk as required until the perfect consistency is achieved.

Step 8:

If desired, serve immediately with sliced green onions, grated cheese, and chopped bacon.

Give it a try! It’s one of the best soups on our dinner menu! it’s our favorite, everyone loves it in the house!! And to make it an ultimately hearty meal, I served it with dinner rolls for dipping. Take note that the broth can thicken as it cools, but if you have some leftovers, thin them with a splash of water or milk.
