Recipe Creamy Potato Bacon Soup Like Tim Hortons
If you are familiar with Tim Hortons and like their Potato Bacon soup you will really like my following recipe for this home-made soup. Tim Hortons is a coffee franchisee in Canada. Not only do they make superb coffee but the soup they serve is delicious. After having my first bowl of this potato soup I went on a mission to figure out how I could make this soup in my own kitchen. After trying different ways to imitate the same great taste this is what I came up with.
Ingredients
1 pound of Bacon Chopped
2 cups of diced onions
6 - 7 cups of potatoes cut into cubes
2 cans of sodium reduced cream of chicken soup
2 cups of low fat sour cream
2 1/4 cups of 1% milk
Marjoram (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Fresh Chives or green onions (Optional)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I find that if your bacon is partially frozen it is a bit easier to cut up. First start with cutting your bacon and then frying it for about five minutes. Add the chopped onions and sauté 3-4 minutes. Drain and put aside.
Cook cubed potatoes in a large pot in 2 1/2 cups of water. Make sure to measure the water as you will be using this water for the soup. Cook for fifteen minutes.
Add sour cream to the potatoes stirring well. Add 2 cans of cream of chicken soup stirring well. Add bacon and onions. Sprinkle with Marjoram lightly about 1/8th of teaspoon. Stir well then gradually add 2 1/4 cups of milk stirring as you go.
Heat but do not allow the soup to boil. I do not add the salt and pepper right to the soup, I just have it on the table along with a small bowl of fresh chives or green onions for those that want to add it.
French or Italian bread along with a salad with this soup makes a great meal.

I love anything with potatoes! I will make this soup, without bacon as I am vegetarian. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much nighbear!
I am sure it would be good even without the bacon cookingdiva.
Hiya Susan, I love Timmies' coffee, of course, and their soups too. This sounds delicious. I'm going to try this for sure. Thanks for the recipe.
Have a nice day,
Rosie
Susan-how much does the recipe make? I need 'small' portions. thanks for a great sounding recipe - bookmarked.
I am sure that you will like it Rosie. When I make it for my family they are usually fighting for the last bowl.
Denise I had to go and look at the size of my soup pot to answer you question. It almost fills a 6 quart pot. Hope this helps you.
Yummy!
It sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing such a ice recipe.
I always end up super hungry when reading these types of hubs. Sounds good, though.
I have never heard of Tim Hortons nor taste their soup! But thanks to you I can now try your recipe at home and get a taste of Canadian food! I must say that it sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe after your have tried your way to the right taste!
I liked soup very much. I believe your soup so delicious. Because it difficult for me to find bacon, I'll change this with chicken. Thank you very much. ~prasetio
sounds very tasty
I just came home from Tim Hortons and had their potato bacon soup. It was excellent and my 10 month old baby boy loved it. Wanted to make it so I'm very pleased to have found your recipe. Will be making this soon.
Sorry for the delay in answering.
Dee, Katrinasui and Cedar Cove Farm, Please try it as it is very good.
Tina, Tim Hortons is a Canadian Famous Coffee Shop. Tim Horton was a Hockey player and in 1964 he opened the first Tim Hortons Donut / Coffee shop. The coffee shop has done so well in Canada that they have now started to open franchises in the USA. Their soup is really good, but mine is better :)
prasetio I just may try making this with chicken too. It would probably taste really good. Thanks for your suggestion.
Ecolicious and Karen thanks so much for your comments and Karen please let me know how you like it.
I love potatoes so i will definitely try this.
Thank you again for visiting katrinasui.
Living in Point St Charles, I was amongst many Irish and we love our potatoes, now matter how served up. This is so mouth watering tasty good, I can smell the bacon sizzling in the pan and then blending the flavors together to make this hearty soup. I LOVE potato anything....yummy. I rate it way UP...now please send me some tasteavision...or better still mail me a pot of it....lol
saddlerider, I know what you mean I am of Scottish and Irish decent, potatoes were a main staple growing up. Tell you what as soon as the postal strike is over I will mail you some :)
I love bacon and I love potato soup. Why it never occurred to me to combine the two I don't know. Never having been near a Tim Hortons I'm not able to relate on the taste of theirs but I will definitely give your recipe a try.
Blake, Hope that you enjoy it as much as we do and please let me know what you think after you have made it.
Oh My Goodness!!!! This looks amazing! I will be trying it out very soon! Thank you for sharing :)
Sounds yummy! I'll be bookmarking this! My husband and I like to make all kinds of soups, especially when it gets cooler out. Thanks for sharing!
Yummy. I've got to give this a try.
Oh Susan, I love Timmy's bacon potato soup. I will surely try your recipe. Thank you so much for the recipe. Cheers!

Yum.....I love making soup and will give this one a try.
I love bacon and I love potatoes so this is a wonderful combination. Must be delicious.
I've tried Tim Horton's and love it. I can't wait to try your receipe. Do you think left overs can be frozen? I'm only cooking for two. thanks
lol Your blog made me hungry.
I love to cook so, I appreciated this blog. I cannot say I have tried this soup at a Timmies because I generally cook my food and do not eat "take-out" stuff (I do drink their coffee though ... not a "Starbucks yuppie" here lol) but it sounds like a good recipe.
I suppose the "2 cans of cream of chicken soup" can be made from scratch from chicken stock and cream?
Nice blog. Cheers!
Mr. Happy, I suppose you could use chicken stock and cream. Let me know if you try it this way and how it turns out.
Mary, Not too sure about freezing due to the sour cream but You could always just 1/2 all the ingredients.
Cardisa, My family loves it when I make them this soup.
marellen, Rosie, vwriter, TPM and Sam, Please let me know if you like this after you've made it and thanks for all the comments.
Looks great Susan! I love soups in the Fall. I recently made potato leek soup with arugula and it was excellent comfort food.
Terea, Potato leak with arugula now that sounds good.
Mmmmm..soup.. delicious and perfect for the upcoming cold months
thejovial, Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.
This looks luscious. I've had Tim Hortons soup when I visited my mother - soup and donut holes :D. I make potato bacon cheese soup, and I bet my family will enjoy this recipe too.
Rebecca, Potato bacon cheese soup sounds good! Please let me know if you like this one.
