Ingredients:

• 🔸 6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 🔸 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 🔸 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 🔸 4 cups chicken broth
• 🔸 1 cup heavy cream
• 🔸 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 🔸 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 🔸 4 green onions, sliced
• 🔸 Salt and pepper to taste
• 🔸 Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
2. Add the cubed potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Ladle the soup into bowls and top generously with shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Helpful Tips:

• 🔸 For a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the soup during the simmering step.
• 🔸 You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
• 🔸 Feel free to add your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic twist.

Pairings:

This hearty soup pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad and a slice of crusty bread. For drinks, a chilled glass of white wine or a warm cup of herbal tea complements the flavors wonderfully.
