Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices, crumbled Cooked bacon
- 3 stalks, chopped Green onions
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Set aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot along with the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend carefully. If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only part of it.
Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to incorporate.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and extra cheddar cheese as desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Killer Potato Soup!
