Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for garnishing

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt (add more to taste)

5 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic to a medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Add Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend half of the soup, then mix it back in.

Stir in Cream and Cheese: Add the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the pot. Stir well until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.

Add Sour Cream: Incorporate the sour cream, mixing until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, additional cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions for garnish.
