Ingredient Benefits

Bacon

Bacon brings a smoky, savory flavor and crispy texture that enhances the entire dish. It also adds a source of protein and fat, helping make the soup more filling and flavorful.

Onion

Diced onion forms the aromatic base of the soup, contributing depth and natural sweetness. Onions are rich in antioxidants and contain compounds that support immune and heart health.

Garlic

Minced garlic infuses the soup with a bold, savory aroma. It’s well known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, along with cardiovascular and immune system benefits.

Russet Potatoes

These starchy potatoes create a creamy, velvety soup base when cooked down. Potatoes are rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, and provide the hearty substance that defines this comforting dish.

Bone Broth

Bone broth adds a rich, savory flavor while delivering collagen, minerals, and amino acids that support joint, gut, and immune health. It’s a nutrient-dense upgrade from traditional broths.

Heavy Cream

Heavy cream gives the soup its indulgent, silky texture. It’s a source of fat-soluble vitamins and adds a satisfying richness that enhances every bite.

Cheddar Cheese

Sharp cheddar cheese melts into the soup, offering a tangy flavor and creamy consistency. It’s a great source of calcium and protein, with bold flavor that complements the hearty base.

Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Essential for seasoning, sea salt enhances flavor while providing trace minerals. Freshly ground black pepper adds a subtle heat and contains piperine, which may support nutrient absorption.

Green Onions

Green onions, used as a garnish, offer a mild, fresh contrast to the rich soup. They also contribute vitamins A and C, along with a pop of color and crunch.
