Title: Knit
Ingredients:
– 6 slices of bacon, chopped
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large soup pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
2. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Add the peeled and cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them with the bacon fat, onion, and garlic. Allow the potatoes to cook for a few minutes to develop flavor.
4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring that the potatoes are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in batches to avoid splattering hot liquid.
6. Stir in the heavy cream, then season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, then garnish with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh chives. Serve hot and enjoy the cozy goodness of this “Knit” soup with your loved ones.
