Equipment

Stainless Steel Cooking Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lrge Russet Potatoes
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • 6 slices Bacon (thick cut)
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 Cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • ¼ Cup Flour
  • 3½ Cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 Cups Single Cream (or full fat milk)
  • ¾ Cup Sour Cream
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • 2 Cups Grated Cheese
  • ⅛ Cup Chives (Finely chopped)

Instructions
 

  • First, grate the cheese, measure out the sour cream, and single cream and let them sit at room temperature. Snip the bacon into squares and cook it in a large pot at a low heat, turn occasionally. Once the bacon has shrunk and crisped, remove it and keep the fat.
  • Peel the potatoes, chop them into cubes, place them in a saucepan, cover with water, add salt, and boil gently until soft. Drain and mash them.
  • Cook the onion in the bacon fat until soft, then add the garlic and butter, cooking for another minute. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute to avoid a floury taste. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping the tasty bacon bits from the pot.
  • Gradually add the single cream, bring to a boil, then simmer. Mix in the potatoes, sour cream, and ground black pepper. Blend until smooth for a creamier texture. Gradually add the cheese, ensure it melts smoothly. The soup thickens as it rests. Serve garnished with chives and crispy bacon and grated cheese.
