Diced Pimentos

If you’re looking for a quick southern-inspired, easy-to-make, weekday bowl of creamy potato soup, then this is your recipe. Simply dump the soup ingredients into a crockpot and stir to combine. Eight hours later, purée half of the soup in a blender and then garnish each bowl of pimento cheese potato soup with some freshly grated white cheddar cheese right before serving. What could be more simple, or more delicious?

For quite some time now, I’ve been thinking about making potato soup in a crockpot. However, I didn’t want to end up with a whole crockpot chock full of potato soup that was so rich and creamy that my tummy would be aching for days after eating it several times in a row. Y’all, these are seriously the kind of things I keep myself up late at night thinking about. Too much rich, creamy, decadent potato soup. I know, right? I definitely have some serious issues I need to work through.

Thankfully, this recipe is the solution to my late-night potato soup anxiety-inducing dilemma. Evaporated milk helps to lighten it up, puréeing half of the soup in a blender helps to make it thick and creamy, and diced pimentos add tons of flavor. Now sure, I also decided to splurge and throw on some freshly shredded white cheddar cheese as well. However, doesn’t everything just taste so much better with cheese? Losing sleep over cheese, that’s not a thing, right? Let’s hope not.

Ingredients:

5 to 6 Large Red Potatoes, Peeled & Cubed (Approximately 2 Pounds of Potatoes)
1 (32-oz.) Carton Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 (12-oz.) Can Evaporated Milk
1 (4-oz.) Jar Diced Pimentos, Rinsed & Drained
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Finely Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Sweet Paprika
Freshly Shredded White Cheddar Cheese

Directions:

Place all of the ingredients, except for the cheddar cheese, into a crockpot.
Stir to combine and then cook on low heat for 8 hours.
Purée half of the soup in a traditional blender until smooth.
Stir together the puréed soup and the non-puréed soup.
Just before serving, garnish each bowl of soup with some freshly shredded cheese.

Suggestions:

Make sure to cube the potatoes into small-size uniform pieces.
Puréeing half of the soup gives it a creamy rich texture.
Sprinkle each bowl of soup with a little bit of paprika before garnishing it with cheese.
This recipe will yield four bowls of soup. Not too much, not too little.

Improvements:

Garnish with crispy crumbled bacon.
Replace the white cheddar with Gruyère or Havarti.
For a richer, more decadent soup, add a 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream when blending.
