- Servings: 6 servings
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 6 slices of turkey bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra shredded cheese and fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking the turkey bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pot, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the milk and heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses, stirring until completely melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked turkey bacon to the pot, mixing well.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra shredded cheese and fresh parsley.
Helpful Tips
- For a smoother soup: Use an immersion blender before adding the bacon back in.
- Make it gluten-free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or cornstarch.
- Storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
- Ingredient Substitutions: Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version and omit the bacon. Replace turkey bacon with pancetta or regular bacon for a different flavor.
