Let’s Make it together
Cook the Bacon: In a large pot over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot with bacon drippings, add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add Potatoes and Broth: Toss in diced potatoes along with chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Mash the Potatoes: Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash some potatoes while leaving others intact for texture. This creates that perfect balance between smooth and chunky.
Stir in Cream and Seasonings: Pour in heavy cream and stir well. Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld flavors.
Add Toppings and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each serving with crispy bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. Enjoy your comforting creation!
This creamy delight warms your soul just like a cozy blanket on a chilly evening!
