Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Bacon
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds russet potato peeled and diced
- 1 (15 oz) can evaporated milk
- 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- cheddar cheese for serving, shredded, chopped
- chive
- sour cream
Instructions
- Dice the bacon. Add it to a large soup pot or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Cook until the bacon is crisp, then remove it to a paper towel lined plate and set aside for later, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
- To the grease, add the onion. Cook until soft, then add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Season with the seasoned salt.
- Add the chicken broth to the pot, then stir in the potatoes. Bring to a gentle boil, and cook until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are tender, add about half the soup and the liquid to a blender. Process until smooth. (Be careful blending, as it is very hot.)
- Return the blended portion of the soup back to the pot, and stir in the evaporated milk, cheese, and sour cream. Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the soup is warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the soup topped with more cheese, sour cream, chives, and the reserved bacon.
