Creamy Potato and Mushroom Chowder

Sometimes, figuring out the main dish is a problem.  However, soup is the only dish that comes to mind when I have no ideas for cooking.  Especially when the weather is chill outside, a bowl of soup is a comfortable idea.  Soup is always an easy way to satisfy for a quick dinner, especially with a small side dish such as garlic bread or a simple side salad.  Today, I will share one of my favorite soups, potato mushroom soup.  This soup is tasty and has all the nutrition needed for a quick meal.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes

3 slices of bacon, chopped

8 oz. mushrooms, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 white onion, diced

1 tbsp butter

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups heavy cream

Seasoning with the following:

Salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and old bay seasoning

Directions:

Peel, wash and cut potatoes into cubes.

Melt butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat.  Add chopped bacon.  Add garlic and onion and saute until fragrant.

Add potatoes and stir well.  Add mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes.  Start the seasoning with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and old bay seasoning. 

Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.  Cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.  Add heavy cream and bring to a boil for a few minutes.  Turn off the heat.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
