Ingredients
- 12 lices Bacon chopped
- 1 onion diced, small, yellow
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream or half and half
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potato peeled and diced to 1-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded sharp
Toppings
- green onion diced, or chives
- Bacon cooked
- cheese shredded
- sour cream
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towel using a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Drain all but 2-3 tablespoons of the bacon. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes until softened, adding the garlic in the last 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until the flour is absorbed.
- Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring. Add the milk and cream along with the potatoes, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender. Transfer 2-3 cups of the soup to a blender and cover it with a dish towel. Blend until smooth, then return to the pot. If you prefer a creamier, smoother soup with fewer chunks, you can blend more, or even all, of the soup. Don't put the lid on the blender or pressure will build up from the heat while blending.
- Remove the soup from the heat then stir in the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and half of the reserved bacon.
- Serve with the remaining bacon, green onions, additional cheese, and sour cream on top.
