This easy Potato Soup recipe is truly the best! It’s quick and easy to make on the stovetop, it’s nice and creamy (without using heavy cream), and it’s always so cozy and comforting and delicious.
POSSIBLE VARIATIONS:
Guys, there are so many ways to customize this soup! Some possibilities could include:
- Make it vegetarian: Nix the bacon. And in its place, add in 2-3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning for a bit of extra flavor. (Plus, use butter or olive oil in place of the bacon grease.)
- Make it gluten-free: You could either:
- omit the flour, and instead, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch into the cold milk and then add it to the soup
- don’t worry about cornstarch/flour at all, and instead, puree half of the soup to thicken it
- Lighten it up: Feel free to:
- omit the flour and 2 tablespoons of grease/butter, and instead, puree half of the soup to thicken it
- use skim milk
- use turkey bacon (although you may need to add in a little extra olive oil or butter to sauté the veggies)
- Add in extra seasoning: If you would like to give your soup an extra twist, feel free to add in 1 tablespoon:
- Cajun Seasoning (my favorite)
- Italian Seasoning
- Za’atar Seasoning
- Taco Seasoning
- Use a mix of potatoes: For something different, feel free to use a mix of Yukon gold potatoes and sweet potatoes, for more of a sweet and savory blend of flavors
- Add in some extra veggies: If you’d like to load this up with extra veggies, feel free to toss in a handful of chopped cauliflower and/or broccoli along with the potatoes. They work well with this recipe too!
