Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving 1-2 tbsp of bacon grease in the pot.
  • Add onions and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
  • Stir in butter and flour to make a roux. Slowly add chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
  • Add diced potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or leave some chunks for texture.
  • Stir in heavy cream, half of the crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, if desired.
  • Serve hot, garnished with the remaining bacon, green onions, and sour cream.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
  • You can add extra vegetables like celery or carrots for more flavor.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more broth or cream as needed.
