Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Use a fork, potato masher, or pastry cutter to mash up some potatoes until the soup reaches your desired consistency.
  • Dice potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
  • Add half and half and cheese at the end, dairy can separate if cooked for the full time.
  • I like topping with sour cream, green onions, chives, cheese, and more bacon crumbles.
Store leftovers in one airtight container or individual sized containers. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for 3-4 months.
Reheat very gradually over low heat stirring frequently. If needed add a bit of milk to help revive it.
