Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium-sized, diced Yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken stock
• 2 cups Half-and-half
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 slices, crumbled Cooked bacon
• 3 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Paprika

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to create a roux and cook for 2 minutes until the flour loses its raw smell.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the half-and-half and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Drain the diced potatoes and add them to the pot. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot to thicken the soup to your desired consistency. Leave some chunks for texture.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream until fully melted and the soup becomes creamy. Adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, additional shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite crusty bread or crackers. Enjoy the comfort in every bite!
