Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 6 slices slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided into two portions for topping and mixing
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 cups chicken broth can substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and crumble.
  2. In the bacon fat, add the diced potatoes and cook for a few minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Mash some of the potatoes in the pot for a thicker consistency.
  5. Stir in milk, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with remaining bacon, cheese, and green onions.

Notes

For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup in a blender or use an immersion blender. Customize toppings by adding sour cream, garlic, or fresh herbs. Using Yukon gold potatoes can add a buttery flavor.
