Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups diced potatoes (about 2 pounds)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Using an immersion blender, blend about half of the soup until creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer about half of the soup to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
  5. Stir in milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives or green onions.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, use fewer potatoes or simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
