Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese
  • Extra crumbled bacon
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook Potatoes: Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot and cover them with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare Flour Mixture: While the potatoes are simmering, whisk the all-purpose flour with a few tablespoons of heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth to create a slurry. This will be used to thicken the soup.
  3. Add Butter and Thicken Soup: Add the butter to the pot with the cooked potatoes and stir until it melts. Slowly whisk in the flour and cream mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and cook until the soup begins to thicken slightly.
  4. Add Remaining Cream and Simmer: Pour in the remaining heavy cream and continue to simmer the soup for 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken further.
  5. Incorporate Sour Cream and Cheese: Stir in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the cheese has fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with additional shredded cheddar cheese, extra crumbled bacon, and thinly sliced green onions to add texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the cooked potatoes before adding the cream.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt content.
  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier and healthier alternative.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit bacon garnish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove to prevent curdling.
