How To Make chicken potato soup

  • 1
    In a small skillet over medium heat fry the chopped bacon until brown and crispy. Add the Panko Breadcrumbs to the skillet cooking for 2 minutes or until lightly browned while stirring continuously. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herbs.
  • 2
    Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large Dutch Oven or soup pot. Add the onion and celery and cook until the vegetables are tender. Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle in the flour. Continue cooking for 2 minutes while stirring.
  • 3
    Slowly stir in the chicken broth and milk alternating between them. Bring the mixture to a low boil then reduce to a simmer. Add the carrots and potatoes and simmer until fork tender. Reduce the heat to as low as it will go and whisk in the cheese a little at a time until melted. Add the cooked chicken breast and stir to warm.
  • 4
    Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dish the soup into the bowls and top with a heaping tablespoon of the bacon mixture.
