Nm Baked Potato Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the bacon fat. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.

5. 5

   Add Cream and Seasoning

   Stir in the heavy cream, butter, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat until heated through.

6. 6

   Serve the Soup

   Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.
