Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until they’re translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring this mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Blend the soup partially for a mix of smooth and chunky texture.
  5. Return it to heat and stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon and fresh chives.

Notes

Feel free to mix up the toppings! Consider crumbled blue cheese or a drizzle of hot sauce. For a healthier option, swap out potatoes for sweet potatoes. This soup can be made vegan by using coconut cream and omitting the bacon.
