Ingredients

Bacon and Vegetables

4 strips thick cut bacon diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onions small diced
3 cloves garlic minced

Soup Base

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups milk
1.5 pounds red potatoes peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
1.5 teaspoons salt
0.5-1 teaspoon pepper

Toppings

1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

as needed sour cream

Instructions

Preparation

In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pot.
Add the butter and onions to the pot and sauté until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Now whisk in the flour to make the roux. Once all of the flour has been incorporated whisk in the chicken stock and milk.
Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper to the soup. Bring it to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese and half of the bacon. Garnish with reserved bacon, green onions and sour cream. Enjoy!
