Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes washed and peeled
- 4 ounces butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon to garnish
- 1/2 cup chopped chives to garnish
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to garnish
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into 3/8-inch cubes.
- Place the potato cubes in a bowl and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Soak for 5 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- When the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour. Cook on medium heat for about 1 minute. The mixture should become fragrant and smell like pie dough.
- Add the chicken stock and heavy cream. Stir until the soup thickens.
- Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot.
- Season with salt and ground white pepper.
- Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
- Serve garnished with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded cheese.

Notes
- Makes one gallon of soup. You may opt to garnish with chives instead of sliced green onions.
- 🥔 POTATO PRO TIP: Soak diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch for perfect texture
- 🧀 CHEESE WISDOM: Grate cheese fresh - pre-shredded won't melt as smoothly
- 🔥 TEMPERATURE TRICK: Never let soup boil after adding cream to prevent curdling
