A while back a good friend of my family made us potato soup. It was so creamy and delicious that I oftentimes remembered the soup and thought about how I would like to try to make it. On a particularly chilly day a few weeks ago, Michael and I decided to give the recipe a shot but make a few modifications. It was pretty easy and turned out really well. I'm hoping we will be making this soup more regularly.
We chopped and sauteed about 3/4 or so of an onion in a large pot.
We also added in some raw turkey bacon pieces and continued sauteing until the onion was translucent and the turkey bacon was cooked. While sauteing the onion and turkey bacon, cut up 4 or 5 red potatoes into about inch thick pieces.
Once the turkey bacon and onion are ready, throw the potatoes in the pot and add water until the water is about even with the top of the potatoes and bring it to a boil. We added some dill at this point, but that is optional.
Cover the pot and let the potatoes cook until they are fully cooked, or soft to the touch of a fork.
Next, we used a hand mixer to mash the potatoes. While mashing, we added in some almond milk (any type of milk would work) and continued to use the mixer until the consistency was to our liking. Add some salt and pepper to taste. If you like spicy foods, I highly recommend adding some hot paprika or hot ground pepper into the soup.
Serve warm with slices of fresh bread and topped with cheese, sour cream, or whatever baked potato toppings you prefer. Enjoy!
PS - thanks for the recipe Scott!!
