Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 4 strips, crumbled (optional, for garnish) Cooked bacon
• 2 stalks, sliced thin (optional, for garnish) Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, even cubes for faster cooking.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and garlic. Stir well to form a paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes to the pot, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks of potato for texture.

Step 8

Slowly stir in the milk, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to heat through, but do not let it boil.

Step 9

Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the soup.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt or pepper.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions, if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
