By author The Recipe Wench
A quick, easy and hearty soup that pulls together in a matter of minutes. Potatoes, as the featured ingredient, makes this an economical option for lunch or dinner. Topped with shredded cheddar, thinly sliced green onion and crunchy bacon, provides a beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

  • 5 Slices Bacon (diced)
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Flour
  • 1-1/2 Cups Milk
  • 2 Cups Chicken broth
  • 3 Medium Russet potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1 inch chunks)
  • 1/2 Cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 Green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 Cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

Directions

Step 1
Cook bacon in high-sided skillet over medium high heat until crispy. Remove to plate to drain over paper towels.
Step 2
Pour off bacon fat and reduce heat to medium. Melt butter. Whisk in flour and continue cooking until a little brown (about 2 minutes).
Step 3
Gradually whisk in milk and chicken broth. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened (about 4-5 minutes).
Step 4
Add potatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes).
Step 5
Stir in sour cream and cayenne pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk to get the consistency you desire.
Step 6
Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, bacon and green onions.
