A creamy, hearty soup featuring russet potatoes, topped with cheddar, bacon, sour cream, and chives, perfect for comfort and sharing on social media.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1200 g total)
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped (80 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (9 g)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (960 ml)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120 g)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (150 g)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chives, for garnish (5 g)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash some of the potatoes for a creamy texture.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and sour cream, allowing the cheese to melt and the soup to thicken slightly.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon and chives.

Notes

Undercooking or adding dairy directly to hot soup can ruin the texture. Cool leftovers properly and reheat gently.
