Share:
Ingredients
- 4 lices thick-cut bacon
- 1 yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 7 cups)
- 4 cups (960 g) chicken broth
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (230 g) sour cream, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon chili powder, optional
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- pepper, to taste
Toppings
- shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish
- green onion, for garnish
- cooked and crumbled bacon, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Remove bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. When cool enough to touch, crumble the bacon.
- In the remaining bacon grease, cook the onion until translucent (5-7 minutes).
- Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add potatoes; saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- In a separate skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, sprinkle the flour in and whisk to combine. Cook until lightly browned (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add in the sour cream, and stir until fully combined.
- Add the sour cream mixture to the potato mixture. Stir to combine.
- Transfer ½ of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth (Note: Be careful, making sure there is a place for the hot air to escape since you are blending a hot liquid.)
- Return the blended soup back to the pot. Add chili powder, salt, pepper, and half of the crumbled bacon. Stir to combine.
- Serve hot, garnished with cheese, green onion, and the remaining crumbled bacon.
