This soup offers all the coziness of a classic favorite in half the time. Using pre-cooked bacon and mashed potatoes, this recipe simplifies the cooking process without compromising the flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 (2.1 oz) pkg Nature's Promise ® Fully Cooked Bacon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (24 oz) pkg Nature's Promise ® Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes or 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar jack cheese, divided
- ½ cup light sour cream, to garnish
- ½ cup sliced green onions, to garnish
Steps
- Microwave bacon according to package directions. In a medium Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high. Sprinkle flour over butter and cook until mixture is lightly golden, whisking constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk broth and milk into flour-butter mixture. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until soup thickens, whisking occasionally. Stir in mashed potatoes, whisking thoroughly to remove any lumps. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in onion powder and ½ cup cheese.
- Meanwhile, crumble bacon into small pieces. Remove soup from heat. If soup is too thick, add ¼ cup chicken broth or water to thin to desired consistency. Divide soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with bacon, remaining cheese, sour cream and green onions.
