For most of my life, I was convinced that in order for soups to be delicious, I had to see through them.  It was important for me to distinguish the soup ingredients and tell them apart.  Potatoes had to have a distinct shape and texture.  Carrots had to be orange-colored and  uniform.

Blended soups made great first foods for babies, but I needed my clear, see-through soups like this classic Easy Meatball Soup and the Fish Ukha Soup.

It wasn’t until recently, and mostly because of necessity that I realized thickened soups keep teenagers fuller longer.

But in order to thicken soups you need to either (a) add more ingredients or (b) thicken with a flour.  Often, a recipe will require both of those methods.

Mushroom, Bacon & Potato Chowder (Gluten-Free)

Because this soup boasts your favorite comfort foods, we’ll stick to slightly thickening it with some arrowroot starch. Feel free to gently blend the potatoes with an immersion blender if you’re skipping the starch all together.

I’ve been experimenting with different soups and chowders that will keep my family’s hunger satisfied.  We rely heavily on soups because they are simply convenient, easy to make and can be as nutrient-dense as you want them to be.  But I also realize that sometimes it’s not quite enough for my family so I go for rich and thick chowders and stews.

Author Anya @ Prepare & Nourish

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. pastured bacon, cut in 1/2" pieces
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 16 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
  • 2 quarts bone broth
  • 6 large russet potatoes, cubed
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • On medium high heat in a large thick-bottom stock pot, cook bacon pieces until crispy. Remove from pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Keeping the heat on medium, saute onions, celery and mushrooms in the bacon grease, stirring occasionally until tender. 
  • Add garlic, red pepper flakes and basil.
  • Add arrowroot starch and quickly stir to coat vegetables with the flour. The flour should slightly cook.  
  • Add 1/2 cup of broth, continuing to stir to create a thick consistency (approximately 5 minutes)
  • When everything is uniform, add remaining broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fully cooked. 
  • Stir in sour cream and the cooked bacon and combine well.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with curly parsley.

    Hi! When is the cooked bacon to be added or is it just meant for garnish?
