Prep Time
Serves
Cooking Mode
½ pound bacon, chopped
1 carton Compliments Beef or Chicken Broth
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 cups Lucerne® Whole Milk
2 cups Compliments Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
finely chopped green onions (optional)
freshly ground pepper (optional)
½ pound bacon, chopped
1 carton Compliments Beef or Chicken Broth
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 cups Lucerne® Whole Milk
2 cups Compliments Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
finely chopped green onions (optional)
freshly ground pepper (optional)
Directions
1In a 5- to 6-quart pan, place chopped bacon over medium-high heat.
2Stir often until bacon is well browned and crisp, 10-12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain and keep warm.
3Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from pan. Add broth and garlic to pan (beef broth offers a richer flavour, but it will turn the soup abeige colour). Bring to a boil over high heat.
4Reduce heat to medium and stir in milk and potato flakes. Stir constantly until soup is smooth and thickened and simmering, about 5 minutes.
5Ladle soup into serving bowls. Offer chopped bacon, green onions, and pepper to add to taste.
