Method of Plain Potato Soup:

Step #1

Firstly you have to add bacon pieces to a soup pot over medium heat and then cook bacon until crisp and fat is fully rendered. After that, you have to remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside for some time. You have to pour off most of the grease, but do not clean the pot.

Step #2

In this step, return the hot to medium-high heat and then add the onions, carrot, and celery. Stir it constantly and cook it for two minutes or so, then add the diced potatoes to it.

Step #3

Pour it in the chicken broth and then bring it to a gentle boil. Cook them for almost ten minutes, or until these potatoes are starting to get tender. Now you have to whisk together the flour and the milk, and then pour into the soup and allow this soup to cook for another ten minutes.

Step #4

After that, you have to remove half to ⅔ of the soup and blend it in a blender or simple food processor until completely smooth. Pour it back into your soup pot and stir constantly to combine it. Let it heat back and then you have to add salt and pepper to taste.

Step #5

In the end, stir it in whipping cream till combined. Now serve Pioneer Woman Potato Soup Recipe in stylish bowls garnished with crisp bacon pieces and a dash of freshly prepared black pepper.
