Favorite Potato Soup

Note: This recipe has been updated! See the current version at The Soup.
Our family’s favorite potato soup. This gets made probably twice a month in the winter, and the girl with a late August birthday usually requests it for her birthday dinner. It’s that favoritest. However, it started out as a humble attempt to replace the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana now that 1) we’re not living near an Olive Garden and 2) I’d be allergic to anything within their walls.
I had a couple requests for the recipe, and apparently I hadn’t actually added it online yet! Now I won’t have to steal my daughter’s 4th grade project whenever I forget how much chicken stock to use.
So, there it is. Oh, you don’t want to read off my kid’s awesome typed homework project? OK, fine. I’m adding a recipe plugin below instead then. This is my first recipe using this plugin, let me know if it works! Updated the recipe plugin 12/5/2017 Updated again 05/2023

Making this tonight! Thanks for the inspiration Darcie! 🙂

It was SOOOOO good Darcie! My only changes were to use leeks since I love how creamy they get AND I used coconut creamer (the so delicious brand stuff) since we didn’t have cream in the house. But the bacon and sausage really gave the soup so much flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

Looks good, although I don’t like bacon, hmm. I might have to try it anyway!
-
Leeks would be great in this! Glad you liked it!

You could skip bacon and add a little olive oil if needed to cook the pork if your sausage isn’t very fatty.

This looks so good! And I think the kale looks like the best part.
-
It’s great because it gives just a little crunch, and it doesn’t get wilted and sad when you reheat leftovers the next day! If there are any, that is.

That looks so delicious! Totally printed it off to try!
