Creamy Potato Soup

This Creamy Potato Soup- served with cheese, bacon, and chives- is comfort food in a bowl!  Make it in no time with a Blendtec Blender.

I have a relationship with Blendtec that may include compensation or products for review. We have been big Blendtec fans in our house for a long time and I genuinely love this product and their fantastic customer service. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

I was never a big fan of soup growing up, I guess because we just didn’t eat it very often.  I didn’t even branch out beyond tomato soup until a few years ago and just recently discovered that chicken tortilla soup is one of my favorite things ever.  I do have to say, it wasn’t officially cold in Texas until my Mom made a big pot of Beef and Vegetable Soup.  My dad was a meat and potatoes kind of guy; but the fact that the soup did, in fact, contain both meat and potatoes, didn’t make it suitable for dinner.

My mom also makes the best potato soup.  It’s what I wanted over chicken noodle any time I was sick.  Even to this day it’s my go-to to warm me up and make me feel better.  Without Mom here to make it for me though, I’ve tried just about every restaurant nearby that serves it.  None of them are as good as Mom’s, so I finally decided it was time to learn to make it myself.

With my new Blendtec making soup is as easy as pushing a button.  I seriously couldn’t function in my kitchen without it.  We use it for everything from protein shakes, smoothies, to salsa.  The new Blendtec Designer 725 has so many more settings (like ice cream!) and uses SmartBlend technology, multi-speed pulse, a 100-speed touch slider.  I especially love the SmartBlend technology for my protein shakes- sometimes my protein would stick to the sides of my old blender, but now it alerts me when I need to add more liquid.  It will also sense and identify potential problems that could interfere with the perfect blend like loading errors, overheating, or air pockets – and then tells you how to fix them.  We use our blender every day- definitely worth the investment!

You have an option with this soup to blend it completely smooth or leave some of the texture from the potatoes intact.  I prefer a more chunky texture, so I don’t blend all of mine.

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes peeled
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 4 pieces bacon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt more to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon until crispy, set aside.
  • Saute the diced onion in the bacon grease until tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Chop the potatoes into small chunks.
  • Add the potatoes, chicken broth, onions, salt, and pepper to a large stock pot.
  • Bring the potatoes to a gentle boil, allow to cook until just tender, about 10-15 minutes. You want them soft, but not falling apart.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour.
  • Scoop out 1/2 to 2/3 of the potatoes and broth mixture into your blender. Blend using the soup button, or about 30-60 seconds until desired consistency.
  • Add the flour and milk mixture to the remaining potatoes on the stove.
  • Gently pour the blended potatoes back into the stock pot.
  • Remove from heat and fold in the cream.
  • Add remaining chopped bacon and other fixings such as shredded cheese and green onions.

    Thanks for the recipe – I haven’t invested in a high tech blender yet, but it does look very useful!
