CREAMY LOADED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. You can alternatively bake them in the oven at 425 F degrees for about 45 minutes until fork tender.
• Cook the bacon: Cook the bacon until crisp, then crumble into small pieces or cut it first into small pieces then fry. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve 2 tbsp of the rendered bacon fat and discard the rest.
• Saute veggies: In a large Dutch Oven or soup pot add the bacon fat and onion; cook the onion until soft and translucent, should take about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Make the soup: Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir. Cook for about one minute to get rid of the raw flour taste. Add the chicken broth a cup at a time, stirring to remove any of the lumps as necessary. Once all the broth has been added, add in all the heavy cream. Bring to a boil.
• Finish the soup: Add the cooked potatoes and cook for another 10 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. The soup should thicken nicely. Stir in half the bacon bits and reserve the other half for topping over the soup. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
• Serve and add toppings: Spoon into bowls, top with remaining bacon and load it up with your favorite toppings.

SIMPLE VEGETABLE SOUP WITH CREAMER POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, add a tablespoon of oil or two and set over medium-high heat. When hot, add in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring often. Add in all the remaining ingredients except for the potatoes and parsley. Bring to a boil, leave uncovered, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer for another hour.
• Remove fresh herbs (that is why we keep them on the stems!) Pour into bowls and serve with fresh parsley!
• *I find using a food processor saves time and effort when chopping the veggies. I also used napa cabbage because the taste is very subtle compared to regular cabbage, so do not exchange the two.

CREAMY SWEET POTATO AND VEGGIE SOUP

• Meanwhile, in a separate pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until well combined, then the milk.
• Once the potatoes are fork-tender, pour in the hot milk mixture and stir until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the steak back to the pot along with the heavy cream and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

• Season and serve: season soup to taste with salt & a good amount of black pepper. Taste, and adjust flavor as needed. Serve with chopped chives and enjoy!
