Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.25 cup green onions sliced for garnish
- 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer to a blender in batches.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
For best results, use freshly shredded cheese, as pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can affect the soup's texture.
