Tips for Success:

  • Bacon Crispiness: Cook the bacon low and slow to render out the fat and achieve perfect crispiness.
  • Potato Choice: Russet potatoes work best for a creamy texture, but Yukon Golds can also add a buttery flavor.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of thyme for added depth.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently over low heat.
  • Reheating: Warm the soup over low heat, stirring frequently. Add a little broth or cream if the soup thickens too much.

Fun Variations:

  • Loaded Potato Soup: Top with sour cream, extra cheese, and chives for a loaded baked potato feel.
  • Veggie-Packed: Add diced carrots and celery for extra vegetables.
  • Spicy Kick: Mix in diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne for some heat.

Why This Recipe Works:

  • Layered Flavors: The combination of sautéed onions, garlic, and bacon adds complexity to the soup.
  • Texture Balance: Creamy base with chunks of potato provides the perfect bite.
  • Comfort Food Appeal: Hearty, warm, and satisfying – just like grandma used to make!

Final Thoughts:

This Old-Fashioned Potato & Bacon Soup is the epitome of cozy comfort. Whether you’re curled up by the fire or serving it for a family dinner, it’s guaranteed to warm hearts and fill bellies.
