Ingredients
Instructions
Add BACON to a 4-quart stockpot over medium heat and cook until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot.
Add BUTTER. Once melted, add ONION and cook until softened, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in GARLIC and cook 1 minute.
Stir in FLOUR and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add CHICKEN BROTH while stirring until smooth.
Add POTATOES. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and partially cover. Cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender.
Stir in MILK and keep heat low (do not boil) for 5-10 more minutes, or until potatoes are cooked to your liking.
Mash some of the POTATOES in the pot to thicken the soup, if desired.
Remove from heat. Stir in SOUR CREAM. Season with SALT and BLACK PEPPER to taste.
Serve topped with CRUMBLED BACON, GREEN ONIONS, CHEDDAR CHEESE, and SOUR CREAM.
Cool completely before storing. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 90 days.
