LOW SODIUM POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place chopped pork belly pieces in a large pre-heated Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat and cook until bacon is crisp.
• Remove bacon pieces and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pot.
• Add butter and chopped onion and cook over medium heat until onions are tender (3-5 minutes). Stir 2 or 3 times.
• Add garlic and celery and about 1 minute.
• Sprinkle flour over the ingredients in pot and stir until blended to make a roux.
• Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, pepper, and chipotle chili powder to the pot. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil and stir occasionally. Cook until potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork (about 10 minutes).
• When getting puree reduce heat to simmer. Choose either to use an immersion blender or stand blender and puree about half the soup. (about 6 cups) I personally recommend the hand immersion blender.
• Return the pureed soup to the pot if using a blender. Add sour cream and reserved bacon pieces, stir well.
• Allow soup to simmer for at least 15 minutes before serving. I like to let it low simmer for a good half hour.
• When serving sprinkle with additional sour cream, bacon, cheddar cheese, or chives on top. Optional
