Ingredients

Bacon slices Butter onion garlic cloves FLour Chicken broth potatoes salt & pepper Can Cream of Chicken Half & half Shredded Cheddar cheese scallions sour cream

6 2 tbsp 1 3 1/2 cup 4 cups 8 10.5 oz 1 cup 2 cups

COOK THE BACON

In a Dutch Oven, cook the bacon until crispy.  Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool.  Leave 2 tablespoons of grease in the pot and discard the rest. 

PREP THE VEGGIES

Scrub the potatoes and peel them before cutting them into 1-inch cubes..  Dice the onion and add the onion, garlic cloves, and onion to the Dutch Oven.  Saute until tender.

ADD THE POTATOES

Once the mixture is a nice golden color, whisk in the chicken broth, potatoes, and half & half.  Cream of chicken is optional but if using, add it in at this point.

SIMMER THE SOUP

Bring the soup to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Careful not to overboil, reduce the heat if necessary. 

BLEND THE SOUP

Use either an immersion blender or a countertop blender to blend half of the soup.  If using a countertop blender, carefully remove the soup from the stove and allow the blender to vent while blending to prevent spills and spewing.

ADD THE CHEESE & BACON

Stir in the cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon until the cheese is blended. Reserve some crumbled bacon for serving!
