Easy Potato Soup recipe:

- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt & black pepper
Directions:
1. Add bacon and onion to a large soup pot.
2. Cook on medium heat until the onion is translucent and bacon is crispy.
3. Add chicken stock to deglaze the pot and get the bacon bits from the bottom.
4. Peel and cut potatoes and cook in the microwave on high for five minutes, until fork tender.
5. Add cooked potatoes and remaining ingredients to the pot.

Tips and tricks:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- You may want to double or triple this recipe depending on how many mouths you have to feed.
- Use an immersion blender to create a smooth creamy texture and change the consistency of your soup
- Leftover mash potatoes work great in this recipe! I use baked russet potatoes and simply chop potatoes or use a potato masher to make mashed potatoes to add to the soup.
- Add a teaspoon or two of corn starch to thicken the broth if needed.
Try adding some of our favorite toppings to the soup upon serving!
Optional toppings:
- Crispy bacon
- Green onions or fresh chives
- A dollop of sour cream
- Sharp cheddar cheese
Ingredient substitutions:
- Heavy cream may be used instead of milk.
- Try using cream cheese instead of sour cream
- Use chicken stock, vegetable broth or homemade turkey broth.
A hot bowl of soup is one of the ultimate comfort foods in the cold weather. Be sure to add this old-fashioned potato soup recipe to your menu planning this fall!
