Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the cubed potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  2. While the potatoes are simmering, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk the roux into the potato mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened.
  6. Stir in half of the cooked bacon and half of the cheddar cheese.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining bacon, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use bacon grease instead of butter for the roux. Serve with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
