Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add diced potatoes and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash some of the potatoes for a thicker consistency.
  • Stir in milk, sour cream, and cheddar cheese, allowing the cheese to melt. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cooked bacon and stir to combine.
  • Serve hot, garnished with extra bacon, cheese, sour cream, and chives.

Notes

  • For extra richness, substitute heavy cream for milk.
  • You can make this soup in advance; just reheat gently to avoid curdling the dairy.
  • For a thicker soup, mash more potatoes or add a cornstarch slurry.
