Cozy up with creamy bacon potato soup topped with fresh green onions for a comforting cold weather meal.
Ingredients:
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled, or more to taste
  • 6 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 cups milk
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 slices American cheese, cut into small pieces
  • 6 green onions, chopped
Instructions:
  • In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, combine cooked bacon, potatoes, chicken broth, carrots, onion, parsley, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring occasionally and lightly mashing potatoes, until potatoes are fully cooked, at least 20 minutes. Adjust consistency with extra chicken broth if desired.
  • In a bowl or measuring cup, combine milk and flour, whisking until frothy. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup while stirring constantly. Simmer the soup until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Take the pot off the heat and mix in American cheese until it's fully melted. Serve the soup in bowls and top with some fresh green onions for a delightful finish.
