Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, chop the onion finely, and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Base Ingredients

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture, blend only half of the soup.

  4. 5

    Stir in Cream and Cheese

    Return the pot to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the potato soup into bowls. Top with chives and bacon bits as garnish. Serve hot.
