When cold weather hits, few foods provide more comfort than a steaming bowl of creamy potato soup.
This easy recipe delivers the ultimate potato soup experience with velvety texture, savory bacon flavor, and pleasing simplicity.
Read on to discover tips for preparing the creamiest, most delicious potato soup to warm you up on chilly nights.
Choosing the Best Potatoes
The key to creamy potato soup is using the right kind of potato.
Starchy russet potatoes break down and thicken the soup beautifully thanks to their low moisture content.
Their high starch content also helps lend a silky texture. Yukon gold potatoes make a good substitute.
Serving and Storing
Potato soup keeps 3 days refrigerated or freezes up to 3 months for easy make-ahead meals.
Reheat gently to prevent curdling.
This simple yet satisfying potato soup takes about an hour to prepare but rewards you with the ultimate comfort food.
One spoonful of its velvety goodness will warm you on even the coldest day.
