What pop in of Potatoes Can Be Used?

We recommend using russet potatoes because they’re starchier than other varieties of potatoes.

High-starch, low-moisture russet potatoes break down and mash easily, which make them perfect for thickening soups.

The mashed potatoes are stirred back into the soup, which gives it a thick and creamy texture.

To reheat, it’s possible for you to microwave the soup on High until warm.

Serve it with a green salad and crusty bread to clean up the bowl.

Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer to a paper towel to drain, leaving the oil and bacon drippings in the pan.

Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add potatoes and broth.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

Return the mashed potatoes to the pan along with sour cream, 1/4 cup cheese and pepper.

Serve garnished with crumbled bacon, the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and chives (or scallion greens).
