Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon (optional for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  • Add the diced potatoes, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash some of the potatoes in the pot to create a thick, creamy base while leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions, if desired.
