Share:
Ingredients
- 4 pounds baking potatoes
- 1 pound Bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 Jalapeno peppers chopped
- 2 ribs of celery chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
Garnishes
- sour cream
- chopped chives
- shredded cheddar cheese
- Sliced Jalapenos
- Bread bowls for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Rinse potatoes and use a fork to poke holes all over the potatoes. Place potatoes in the oven (on a baking sheet or right on the oven rack) and bake for 60 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Set potatoes aside until they're cool enough to touch.
- Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside of the potatoes. Place the potato flesh in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using the whisk attachment, whip the potatoes until all the lumps are gone, or leave some lumps depending on the texture you'd like for your soup.
- Heat a dutch oven or large pot on the stove over medium heat. Place bacon into the pot and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Drain bacon grease, leaving 1 tablespoon in the pot.
- Add the onion, jalapeno, and celery to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook the vegetables for 15 minutes.
- Add the whipped potatoes to the pot and stir. Slowly stir in the chicken stock.
- Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat. Then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Make sure to break up the cream cheese so that it melts all the way.
- Add back in most of the bacon, leaving some out to garnish each bowl with. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon soup into a soup bowl or bread bowl and garnish with bacon, cheese, chives, and jalapeno slices. Serve warm.
Notes
- Nutritonal information is for soup only - garnishes and bread bowls are not included.
