Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Potatoes (Russet recommended)
- 6 strips Bacon
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 4 Green Onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel and chop into bite-sized cubes.
- Cook the bacon: In a large stockpot, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5–7 minutes, then remove.
- Sauté the base: Add potatoes and enough broth to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Mash it up: Use a masher to mash the potatoes directly in the pot.
- Add the creaminess: Stir in sour cream and shredded cheddar until melted.
- Bring it all together: Return bacon, stir in most green onions, and season to taste.
Notes
For an ultra-smooth soup, use an immersion blender. Adjust the consistency with broth or milk as needed.
