Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 4 large large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Creamy Mixture
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
Toppings
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until they’re translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring this mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender — about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Blend the soup partially for a mix of chunky and smooth texture.
Final Steps
  1. Return it to heat and stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon and fresh chives.

Notes

For a vegan variation, swap heavy cream and sour cream with cashew cream and nutritional yeast. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months.
