Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled and chopped russet potatoes
- 1 - twelve ounce can of chicken stock
- water enough to barely cover the potatoes
- 1 cup chopped bacon we buy the precooked chopped bags of bacon TIME SAVER
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup Colby cheese for the soup
- 1 cup Colby cheese for toppings
Instructions
- In a medium to large pan or a Dutch oven pan, add the chopped potatoes and chicken stock.
- Add enough water to just barely cover the potatoes. We won't be draining the potatoes. We will be making a roughly mashed potatoes that are runny. The chicken stock adds a lot of flavor.
- Once the potatoes are soft like you would mash them for mashed potatoes, mash them to break them down into smaller pieces, but not mush. (however chunky you want your soup). Go over the entire pan twice and leave it alone.
- Add in the cream cheese in dollops and stir so it melts into the soup. Once stirred in, add the bacon and stir.
- Add the Colby cheese (1 cup), stir in.
- Remove from heat.
- Serve and top with cheese as desired.
- Want it faster? Use baked potatoes and peel them. You will only need to warm up ingredients and not recook the potatoes.
