Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 lbs), diced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices crispy bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by washing and dicing the potatoes.
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, keeping some drippings in the pot.
- Sauté chopped onions in the bacon fat until translucent (about 5 minutes).
