Made this last week. Still enjoying the leftovers.

Don’t let the lack of a stick blender deter you. I just had a potato masher. The chunky/rustic thing works great too!

Oh. My. Goodness.

!!!

“1 brick of cream cheese � whisk it in!” I love it!

Totally cheating, but sometimes, you just gotta go that way. Thanks so much for sharing!

awesome. also, i make a potato leek soup when i’m REALLY lazy because…you can do this, total cheating:

2 cups water, 3 cups milk, 2 leeks – cook it to a boil!
1 brick of cream cheese – whisk it in!
1 packet of betty crocker garlic instant mashed potatoes – stir ‘em in!

heat through, annnnnnnd done. add some cracked black pepper, and sometimes i put some cheddar cheese on top when it’s in the mug. (i don’t really use salt even because of the instant potatoes.)

but i’m so with you on the bacon…YUM

OMG, this looks so good. I myself have never tried to make any kind of soup other than bean soup but this has totally inspired me. I am going to try to make this on Sunday. Thanks for the awesome post!

Thanks so much, MC.

And yikes, I’ll bet soup is a hard sell in Florida. Although, I’ll bet this would be good as a chilled soup, like vichyssoise.

Let me know how you like it if you give it a whirl!
