A hearty and comforting potato bacon soup made from shelf-stable ingredients. Perfect for a cozy meal on a budget.
Ingredients: 4 slices of shelf-stable bacon, chopped. 1 onion, diced. 3 cloves of garlic, minced. 4 cups of shelf-stable chicken broth. 4 cups of dehydrated potato flakes. 2 cups of water. 1 cup of evaporated milk. 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped chives for garnish optional.
Instructions: Cook the chopped bacon in a big pot over medium heat until it's crispy. The bacon should stay in the pot with the bacon grease removed and set aside. To the pot containing the bacon grease, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. After about five minutes, or until the onions turn translucent, saut them. Add the chicken broth that is shelf-stable and heat until it boils. Add the two cups of water and the dehydrated potato flakes and stir. After the potatoes are soft and the soup has thickened, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes. Grated cheddar cheese and evaporated milk should be added and thoroughly mixed. Simmer for a further five minutes, or until the soup is thoroughly heated and the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste when preparing the soup. If desired, top hot dish with chopped chives and crispy bacon bits. Savor your tasty and affordable Potato Bacon Soup!
