Title: bacon, potato and cheddar soup - Meat on the menu
Post by: riv_mum on June 04, 2010, 11:02:31 am

Bacon, potato and cheddar soup
Meat on the menu

Large volume - 2L so goes a long way. I didnt have white wine so left that out and used water with stock concentrate instead of chicken stock. I didnt have enough cheese so only used 100g cheddar and 50 of parmasan. This was plenty!!! I wouldnt add any more it would be too strong. Very thick but i like it like that. Kids not so keen but they dont like soup normally anyway. Happy to dip toast in it though.

My version 4/5

I've made this too and it was nice but a bit thic.
It would be a great pasta sauce too.  Really nice in flavours.

Thanks Sherre et al - great to gave soups that you can make from staples in the cupboard.  Have noted the thickness issue.

Thanks Riv Mum - you are right to cut down the cheese!!! 100g was plenty. I think it would be a good idea to choose the potatoes carefully. Mine was really floury and not that great.

I tried this soup last week was so yummy

Made this tonight with freshly made chicken stock from EDC.

We loved it! It was thick but we enjoyed it that way. I had a bit less parmesan and a bit of extra bacon.

This will go down as a definite favourite in our house.

I made this and wrote on the recipe that it was too salty and cheesey, so I'll cut back on the cheese next time.
