材料

6 strips bacon (drippings reserved)

3 tablespoons bacon drippings (or butter)

1 medium yellow onion (diced)

¾ cup carrots (diced)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 teaspoon EACH: dried parsley, mustard powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ cup flour

5 cups chicken broth

1 cup half and half

Salt/Pepper (to taste)

1 ½ lbs. yukon gold potatoes (or russet)

4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 ¼ cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

1/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

手順

Cut the bacon in half and place it in a 4-quart soup pot. Cook it slowly over low heat until crispy on each side. Reserve the drippings and set aside. Roughly chop the bacon once cooled.

Measure out remaining ingredients while the bacon cooks. Cut the broccoli florets into smaller bite size pieces. Don’t cut the potatoes until ready to use.

Heat 3 tablespoons bacon drippings (or butter) in the same soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and simmer until very softened and slightly caramelized, about 12 minutes.

Add the garlic, soy sauce, hot sauce, parsley, mustard powder, and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.

Add the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring continuously. Add the half and half in the same manner. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer and concentrate for 10 minutes.

Peel the potatoes and cut into ¾-inch chunks. Season lightly with salt and pepper and add them to the soup. Simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally as it cooks.

Add the broccoli and simmer for 7 more minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender and the broccoli is cooked through.

Optional: Use an immersion blender to pulse the soup a few times to smooth out the consistency slightly. You can also transfer some of the broth to a blender.

Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the cheese until melted and combined. Stir in half of the bacon.

Taste the soup and add additional seasoning if desired. Garnish with remaining bacon and serve!
