Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 shallots, diced
• 3 large baking potatoes, diced (we left ours unpeeled for nutritional value, but you can peel them if you want to)
• 1/4 cup shredded carrots
• 32 oz. low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons bacon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Toppings: shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped fresh chives, crumbled fully-cooked bacon, sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

In a large sauce pan, melt butter on medium low. Chop onions and shallots and then saute in butter for 5 minutes then simmer for 20 minutes, covered.
While onions are simmering, chop up potatoes and shred carrots. Stir into onion mix and cover and cook on medium low for another 15 minutes.
Stir in chicken broth, bacon salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Simmer for 30-40 minutes until potatoes are tender. Using an immersion blender, blend until creamy (or until desired consistency is reached). Continue to heat on low until heated up to serving temperature.
Garnish with cheese, chives, bacon and/or sour cream (if desired). Serve hot with a slice of beer bread on the side.Honey Beer Brea
