The natural sweetness of the sweet potato balances the savoury ham or bacon, adding a new layer of depth and flavour that's hard to resist. The creamy texture it brings blends beautifully with the Yukon Gold potatoes, making the soup extra comforting and satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choosing the Best Potatoes for Your Soup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For this soup, Yukon Gold potatoes are my go-to. They have a smooth texture that holds up well in the broth, unlike some  potatoes that can turn mushy. Their creamy, slightly buttery flavour is perfect for creating a hearty, rustic soup. If you're in the UK and can't find Yukon Golds, don't worry-<strong>Desiree<\/strong> or <strong>Maris Piper<\/strong> potatoes are excellent alternatives. Both have a creamy texture and work wonderfully in soups, providing that perfect balance of softness and structure as they cook. If you're aiming for a thicker, creamier base, feel free to mash some of the potatoes as you cook to help thicken the soup naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" data-pin-description=\"Bacon, Cabbage, and Potato Soup \u2013 This hearty soup is a comforting blend of simple ingredients, yet brimming with flavour.

class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This soup stores really well! Let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to store it longer, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1739059542745\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I freeze Bacon, Cabbage, and Potato Soup?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Freezing this soup is easy. Once the soup has cooled completely, portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags. Label and date the containers before freezing. When you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw the soup in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or stock if needed to loosen it up.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1739059594829\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I omit the sweet potato and still make a great soup?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can omit the sweet potato if you prefer a more traditional flavour or don't have it on hand.

Once the soup has cooled completely, portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags. Label and date the containers before freezing.
