Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 2 large carrots, cut into small rounds
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups chicken (or veggie) stock, divided
- 1 cup water
- 1 pound yellow new potatoes, quartered
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Chupacabra Chop Haus seasoning
- 5 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-in-half
- 5.3 ounce package Garlic & Herb Boursin
- 1 1/2 cups smoked Gouda, grated and divided
- Green onions and crispy bacon for garnish
Instructions
- To a heavy bottomed Dutch oven, add the butter and put the heat to medium. Once the butter has melted, add the shallots, carrots, kosher salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Stirring often, cook for about 10 minutes or until the shallots have softened.
- Pour in 1 cup of stock, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring just to a boil then add in the potatoes, rest of the stock, water and stir. Bring back to a boil, cover partially, and reduce the heat to simmer.
- Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Uncover, add in the spinach stirring to mix in. Once the spinach has wilted, add in the cream and stir. Take a Potato Masher and mash up as little or as much of the potatoes you want. I mashed up about half of them.
- Break apart the Boursin and add to the pot, stirring until it fully melts in. Turn off the heat, stir in 1 cup of the smoked Gouda until fully incorporated. Taste for seasoning.
- Serve and store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
