Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Dice the onion and add it to the pot, cooking until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and add it to the pot. Cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot along with the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 7

In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside. Chop the green onions and parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crispy bacon, chopped green onions, and parsley for a burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Powerfully Delish Potato Soup!
