Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash or blend the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, mash lightly; for a smoother soup, blend until creamy.
- Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Allow the cheese to melt and the soup to heat through for about 5 minutes.
- Serve the soup hot, topped with crumbled bacon, extra cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions.
