Equipment

  • Large Soup Pot
  • Sharp Chef Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Wooden Spoon:
  • Potato Masher
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Russet potatoes cubed
  • 3 cups Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Yellow onion diced
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp Fresh chives chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Peel your potatoes first. Cut them into small cubes. Dice the onion into small pieces. This helps them cook fast.

Boil the Potatoes

  • Put potatoes and onion in the pot. Add the chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a boil. Simmer until potatoes are soft.

Make the Thickener

  • Melt butter in a small pan. Whisk in the flour slowly. Cook it for one minute. This creates a thick paste.

Mix the Soup

  • Add the flour paste to the pot. Stir it very well. The soup will start to get thick. Keep the heat on medium.

Add the Dairy

  • Pour in the heavy cream now. Stir the soup gently. Let it get hot but do not boil. This keeps it smooth.

Mash and Season

  • Mash some potatoes with a tool. This makes it extra creamy. Add salt and pepper. Stir in half the cheese.

Add the Toppings

  • Pour the soup into bowls. Top with bacon bits. Add more cheese and chives. Serve it while it is hot.

Notes

➔ Cut potatoes into equal sizes for even cooking.
➔ Do not boil the soup after adding cream.
➔ Use full fat cream for the best flavor.
➔ Sauté onions in butter before adding the broth.
➔ Add a splash of milk if soup is thick.
➔ Use sharp cheddar cheese for a stronger taste.
➔ Always use fresh potatoes for the best texture.
➔ Crispy bacon adds the best crunch to soup.
