Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 0.33 cup Green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Cooked bacon (for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, pierce them with a fork, and bake them for 50-60 minutes until fully cooked. Let the potatoes cool, then peel and dice them into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, stirring to combine and prevent lumps. Then, add the heavy cream and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the cheese has fully melted.

Step 6

Add the diced baked potatoes to the soup. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 7

Stir in the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with extra shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy with a side of crusty bread, if desired!
