A classic cream of potato soup.

I would not classify this recipe as low-calorie, it is creamy, full of veggies and delicious.

In celebration on the ‘spud’!

Cream of Potato Soup

½ pound of Bacon

6 cups cubed potatoes

Water

1 large sweet onion, diced

1 cup sliced celery

1 cup diced carrot

5 cloves garlic, chopped

4 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons bacon drippings

2 cups heavy cream

1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste

1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more or less, to taste

5 green onion, chopped for garnish

Cook bacon until crisp and set aside, reserving bacon drippings.  When bacon is cool, crumble the bacon and reserve for topping the soup.

In a large stock pot, add onion, celery, bacon drippings and butter.  Sauté until onions are caramelized.  Add garlic and sauté a few minutes more.  Add carrots, potatoes, and just enough water to cover the potatoes.  Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender.

With an emersion blender, blend until smooth.  Add seasonings, cream and serve in bowls with bacon crumbles and green onion.  YUM!

Note:  If you don’t have an emersion blender, blend with an electric mixer or cool soup slightly and blend in a blender (holding the top with your hand).

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
