List of Ingredients




12 slices Jimmy Dean Fresh Taste. Fast! ® Premium Precooked Bacon, heated according to package directions and diced
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk or half-and-half
2 pounds red potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1-2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
4 thinly sliced green onions (optional)


Heat butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, carrot, celery and salt; cook, stirring frequently until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, milk or half-and-half, potatoes and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in as much cheese as desired. For a creamier texture, puree half of soup in small batches in a blender* and return to pot, stirring well. Stir in diced bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with green onions if desired.

Makes 6 servings
