Description
A hearty and creamy soup made with Yukon Gold potatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and peeled
- 6 strips bacon, diced
- 1 cup sharp or mild cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 4 cups broth (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Dice them into even chunks to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Cook potatoes, blend partially, and add cheese. Place the potatoes in the crockpot along with your bacon. Pour in the broth and let the mixture cook on low for several hours. After the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks for texture, and then stir in the cheese and cream cheese to enrich the flavor.
- Continue cooking until fully done and flavors are combined. Allow the soup to simmer for a bit longer, letting the flavors meld together into a soothing, creamy delight.
- Serve and enjoy. Once ready, ladle the soup into cozy bowls and sprinkle extra cheese or crispy bacon on top as a finishing touch.
Notes
Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.
