Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onion
• 2 tablespoons Cooked bacon bits

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1/2-inch cubes for quicker cooking.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the potato cubes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blending until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, and bacon bits. Serve immediately and enjoy!
