Cheddar Potato Soup with Wine
A potato soup with white wine, cheddar cheese, and bacon that can be made gluten-free by substituting cornstarch or gluten-free flour.
Ingredients
- 4 slices raw bacon, chopped
- 1 ½ cups onion, chopped (about 1 large onion)
- 1 pound white potatoes (any boiling potato will work)
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup flour (see note to make this soup gluten-free)
- 1 ¾ cups water
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock (or broth)
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 green onion, chopped for garnish
- pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- Chop bacon and set aside. Chop the onion and set it aside. Wash, peel, and cube potatoes and set aside.
- In a heavy Dutch oven, fry the bacon on medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and cook, stirring, until you scrape most of the buildup off the bottom of the pan.
- Whisk in the flour and let it cook for a minute. Then, add the water and chicken stock. Whisk until there are no flour lumps.
- Add the potatoes. Simmer with a propped lid for 18-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the soup from the heat. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon into bowls and garnish with cooked bacon and green onion.
