In a pot, boil the potatoes until soft.
In a separate pot, cook the bacon and leave the grease after cooking. Drain the bacon on a paper towel, then chop into big chunks.
Once the bacon is removed, add butter and garlic to the pot. Melt the butter, then add flour to make a roux.
Pour in the chicken stock, milk, and heavy cream. Stir together with the seasonings.
Add the boiled potatoes and bring the mixture to a slight boil. Gently mash the potatoes, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes, then serve.
Top with sour cream, cheese, bacon, and chives before serving.
Don’t overcook the bacon; it should be slightly chewy for the best texture in the soup.
Leave some potato chunks unmashed to add depth and texture to the soup.
Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced flavor.
Serve the soup immediately for the best taste and texture.
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes can be used, but russet potatoes are ideal for their starchy texture.
Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the soup ahead of time and reheat it gently on the stove. Add toppings just before serving.
Can I substitute heavy cream?
You can use half-and-half or additional milk, but the soup may be less creamy.
Is this soup gluten-free?
No, the recipe includes flour for the roux. You can substitute with a gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.
Can I make this soup vegetarian?
Yes, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
