Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While potatoes are simmering, melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk the roux into the potato mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese until cheese is melted and soup is smooth.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with green onions and crumbled bacon.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

For an extra creamy soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese and sour cream. This will create a smoother texture without completely pureeing the potatoes.
