A creamy, comforting potato soup topped with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, bacon bits, and green onions, ideal for winter evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Dice the potatoes and boil until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, combine the broth, diced onions, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20 minutes.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour until a smooth paste forms. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Whisk the roux into the simmering broth, then add the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
  5. Fold in the diced potatoes and warm for 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Notes

If you prefer a heartier grain, consider textures with toppings from other recipes like sweet potato taco bowls. Avoid common mistakes like adding cream at full heat to prevent curdling.
