Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Chef's knife
  • Blender or immersion blender
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion small diced
  • 2 carrots small diced
  • 2 celery stalks small diced
  • 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes cut into 1" chunks
  • 3 thick cut bacon slices diced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese shaved
  • ¼ cup gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large Dutch oven on medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Add the butter to the bacon grease then add the carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 4 minutes or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
  • Stir in the gluten free all-purpose flour. Add the broth, potatoes, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the potatoes are fork tender - about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn.
  • Stir in the milk, cream, and parmesan cheese then cook for 3 more minutes. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup to desired thickness. You can leave it a little chunky for some texture.
  • Serve and add your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Store leftover potato soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 
  • Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop on low heat.
