Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 4 cups of potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)

Equipment

  • A large pot
  • A wooden spoon
  • A sharp knife
  • A cutting board
  • A blender (optional)

Method

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the chicken broth and chopped potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
  5. Add the chopped spinach and heavy cream to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
  6. Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional). If the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth or cream to thin it out.
  7. Serve the soup hot, topped with the crispy bacon.

Notes

  • This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it on the stove over low heat before serving.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to blend the soup in batches. Be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending, and be careful not to overfill the blender.
  • If you don't eat bacon, you can leave it out and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make the soup vegetarian.
