Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the reserved bacon drippings.
Sprinkle the flour into the pot, whisking constantly, to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
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.
Stir in the crumbled bacon and half of the chopped green onions.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining green onions and additional cheese, if desired.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
