Ingredients

• 12 slices Bacon
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the reserved bacon drippings.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour into the pot, whisking constantly, to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the crumbled bacon and half of the chopped green onions.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining green onions and additional cheese, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
