Jump to recipeBoursin Potato Soup has distinct notes of bacon and creamy garlic—and you won’t believe it calls for only five ingredients (salt and pepper are freebies)! Despite this simplicty, the final dish is velvety, rich, and has that je ne sais quoi that only Boursin can provide. Recipe Tips For Boursin Potato SoupCooking the bacon in the Dutch oven builds a flavorful base and leaves behind drippings that season the potatoes as they sauté. Blending most of the soup while reserving some potato pieces creates a balanced texture—smooth and creamy with hearty chunks throughout. Cream cheese plus a clove of garlic and chopped herbs can stand in for Boursin in a pinch.
