Food and cooking tips that will make your Hearty Potato Bacon Chowder taste better
If you learn these tricks, your Hearty Potato Bacon Chowder soup will be even better:

The right texture for potatoes

Choosing Potatoes: For the best taste, use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Yukon Golds give soup a sweet taste, while Russets make it creamier.

Uniform Cubes: For even cooking, cut the potatoes into cubes of the same size.

The Magic of Crispy Bacon

Making Bacon Fat: Cook the bacon until it’s crispy to get the most fat out of it, which will make the soup taste better.

Bacon Garnish: To keep the crunchiness, save some fried bacon for the garnish.

Making it thicker without flour

Natural Thickeners: If you use a potato masher, you won’t need to add flour or cornstarch, so the soup stays gluten-free and healthy.

Beans to Make It Thicker: Adding white beans can easily make the soup thicker and also add nutrition.

Adding Flavor

Slow Cooker Liquid: Allow the slow cooker to naturally blend the flavors over an extended cooking period.

Fresh vs. Dried Herbs: Adding fresh herbs at the end gives the dish a burst of flavor, while cooking with dried herbs builds the flavor base.
