Cream of asparagus, cheese, potato, and bacon soup
Cream of asparagus, cheese, potato, and bacon soup is a delicious and comforting soup that combines the flavors of asparagus, creamy cheese, hearty potatoes, and savory bacon. It's a rich and flavorful dish that pairs well with crusty or garlic bread for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1 onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- chives chopped for garnish (optional)
- crusty bread or garlic bread for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the asparagus, potatoes, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese and heavy cream until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with crispy bacon and chopped chives if desired. A slice of warm, crusty bread or garlic bread is perfect for dipping into the creamy soup.
- Enjoy!
