Loaded with tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, this soup is a satisfying meal on its own or as a starter to a larger meal. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:– 6 large russet potatoe– 6 slices bacon, chopped– 1/2 cup unsalted butter– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour– 6 cups whole milk
– 2 cups chicken broth– 1 cup sour cream– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for garnish– 4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)– Salt and pepper, to taste– Sour cream, for serving– Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the russet potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the chopped bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
In the same pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
. Gradually whisk in the whole milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and comes to a simmer.
