If you’re looking for the ultimate comfort food — the kind that makes everyone go back for seconds — this Creamy Potato & Bacon Soup is the one! Rich, hearty, and bursting with flavor, it’s the perfect balance of creamy potatoes, crispy bacon, and melted cheese.
Every spoonful feels like a warm hug on a cold day. My husband says this is the one dish he could eat every single night — and I don’t blame him.
Ingredients:
- 5–6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 1 tbsp flour (for thickening)

Serve hot, with an extra pinch of cheese and bacon on top.
Warning: once you make it, you’ll be asked to cook it again and again!
