- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1 cup of chopped celery
- 1 cup of chopped carrots
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of cooked bacon, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large bread bowls
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, onion, celery, and carrots with the broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Using a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes to thicken the soup while leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the soup is simmering, prepare the bread bowls by cutting off the tops and hollowing out the insides.
- Serve the soup hot in the bread bowls, garnished with additional cheese and bacon if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth.
- Feel free to add toppings like green onions or sour cream.
- This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
