Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 cups gluten-free chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 strips bacon

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble the bacon once cooled.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced yellow onion. Cook until the onion is translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes and gluten-free chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.

Step 8

Return the soup to the pot if using a countertop blender. Stir in the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat until warmed through.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
