Irish Potato Soup

Print Options
Description
If you aren’t Irish, this soup will make you wish you were!
Ingredients
- ½ cups Butter
- 1 whole Small Onion
- 1 bag (3 Oz.) Oscar Mayer Bacon Pieces
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Cayenne
- 1 whole Bay Leaf
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Garlic
- 8 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 pounds Diced Potatoes
- ¼ cups Heavy Cream
- Shredded Cheese
- Green Onion
Preparation
Melt butter in a large pan, or Dutch oven (insert giggles here).
Saute diced onion, bacon, salt, and cayenne pepper until the onion is browned. Add the bay leaf and garlic and cook for a couple more minutes. Add the chicken broth and the diced potatoes. Cook potatoes to desired tenderness.
If you want a chunkier soup, pull out some of the potatoes and set them aside.
Remove the bay leaf. Use a mixer to “mash” (smooth) the taters and ingredients. If you set taters aside, add them after you “mash” the others. Add the heavy cream. Season with pepper.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese and green onions.
A true pot o’ gold!

This was so good and hearty. I used Chicken Bacon instead and accientally used smoked paprika instead of cayenne (I am very aware of the colour difference but was in a rush). What a happy accident! It really made the chicken bacon taste like REAL bacon. And sooo easy to make!

Made this tonight and just finished a big bowl of it….yum!!! I like my potato soup with a little more potato so next time maybe I’ll add more or reduce the liquid but the flavor of this soup is fantastic!

My friend shared some leftovers of this soup with me, and it was so good! It reheated very well.
It has a nice kick to it, but not too hot for even wimpy me.
I like that it’s a little different twist from some of the other potato soup recipes I have. And as much as I love “cream of” soups, it’s nice to have a recipe that doesn’t use a can!
