Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds russet potato 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 Bacon to garnish, crumbled
- 1/2 cup chives to garnish, chopped
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese to garnish, shredded
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
- Soaking diced potatoes in cold water removes excess starch for a better texture.
- Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
- Do not allow the soup to boil after adding cream to avoid curdling.
- This recipe yields about one gallon of soup.
