One of my favorite ways to use our fresh A2 milk in the winter time is to cook with it! Here is an easy and budget friendly comfort food soup recipe that serves about 6-8 :)
INGREDIENTS
3 lbs (about 5 large) russet potatoes
3 1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sour cream
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter
2 2/3 cup fresh whole milk
1/2 tsp pepper
4 scallions, sliced thin
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
6 slices (or more!) bacon, crumbled *
DIRECTIONS
Cook bacon until crisp, place on paper towels and set aside.
Peel, rinse, cut potatoes into thirds. Place in large pot with enough water to cover. Add 2 tsp salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until very soft (about 45 minutes).
Drain potatoes, return to pot and mash by hand until smooth. Add sour cream and butter, stir until melted.
Add milk, pepper and remaining 1 1/2 tsp salt and bring back to a simmer.
Serve and garnish with scallions, cheese and bacon
* I love to use bacon from my friends at Riemer Family Farms! It tastes amazing and is grass-fed, just like our cows :)
