Soup with Potatoes, Bacon, Parmesan, and Sour Cream

Once the potatoes are soft, use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the potatoes slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add the milk, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine.

Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir until the soup becomes creamy and smooth.

5. Final Touches:

Stir the cooked bacon back into the soup, reserving a bit for garnish if desired.

6. Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of green onions or parsley, and additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Enjoy this comforting soup with a side of crusty bread or a light salad.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add extra milk or cream if it thickens too much upon reheating.
