Cheddar Potato and Bacon Soup with Roast Beef Club Sandwich
In Pa. Winter starts at the end of October and hangs around till April. Whatever the temperature is, a good hearty soup and sandwich is always welcome. Whether you make it as a light accompaniment in the Summer with a salad or a hearty soup with a sandwich to warm your bones with in the Winter, I love it. And if you put cheese in the soup , it’ll make me absolutely giddy. This homemade potato soup was easy to make and delicious. It’s the best potato soup I’ve ever had, and the cheddar cheese had a lot to do with that.
I paired this delicious Cheddar Potato And Bacon Soup with one of my favorite sandwiches, a roast beef club sandwich. You can make a club sandwich with any meat you have on hand. I usually make them after I’ve roasted a chicken or beef roast, I really look forward to using the leftovers this way to create another meal. I didn’t have red potatoes when I made this so I used russet potatoes. I added about a cup more potatoes to the soup, that way I could take my potato masher and mash some of them to make the soup nice and thick and still have pieces of potatoes. I also added about 3/4 cup more cheddar cheese. I love me some cheese. I hope you enjoy this soup and sandwich as much as I do!
Cheddar Bacon and Potato Soup ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups peeled and cubed russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced cooked bacon
Using a medium sized stock pot bring the water to a boil, add potatoes and cook until tender. Drain potatoes reserving 1 cup liquid.
Stir in butter, onion and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually stir in potatoes, reserved liquid, milk, sugar, cheese, and cooked bacon.
Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently and serve.
Making a club sandwich is very easy. Start by toasting 3 slices of bread, we use whole wheat. Put mayonnaise on all 3 slices. Fry 3 slices of bacon, and cut into pieces and lay on one slice of mayonnaise bread. Take whatever meat you have on hand….chicken, turkey, roast beef or ham and lay it on top of the bacon. Top this with your second slice of mayonnaise bread. On top of your second slice you can add cheese if you want to along with your lettuce and tomato, top with third slice of mayonnaise bread. It’s one terrific sandwich!

Love this Roast beef Club sandwich, wonderful!!
The soup sounds wonderful and in tandem with that sandwich makes a meal fit for a king. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
both of these would make a fine meal by themselves, but together, what a feast!
Oh Bunny, you sure know how to make a good-looking soup and sandwich combo! This potato soup does look fabulous and that big roast beef club? YUMMMM! I’m thinking I’ll try the soup recipe this weekend. My family would love it. 🙂
I made this potato soup (sans bacon or ham) a few days ago! I was indeed warming and delicious. If I was intelligent, I would have made those sandwiches to go along with it. So, you are in Kentucky now! Happiness to you! Feeling the warmth.

Oh wow! That sandwich picture literally took my breath away! Seriously epic, I love it. x
A great combo and so delicious. I lived in NY growing up and moved to Virginia over 20 years ago…the winters are definitely milder here too and I’m so thankful for that. I can’t stand snow!

yum! I love me some extra cheese too. Never had a club with roast beef but I will soon!
Mmm, that looks like good food!
WOW – both this sandwich and soup have delicious and comfort written all over them.
