02 -
2 tablespoons butter

2 green onions, thinly cut
04 -
6 bacon strips, fried and broken up
05 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 -
1 cup heavy cream

2 garlic cloves, smashed up
08 -
1 small onion, chopped

4 cups chicken broth

6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Spoon the hot soup into bowls and sprinkle with bacon bits, cheddar, and some green onions.
02 -
Toss in those onions you cooked, pour in cream, then add salt and pepper. Give it a good stir and let it hang out on low heat for about 10 minutes. Make sure to check and stir a bit during that time.
03 -
Take a potato masher or your stick blender and break up the potatoes in the broth. No need to go wild, leave some chunky bites.
04 -
Toss butter in a skillet over medium. When it melts, throw in chopped onion and garlic. Stir until they get soft and you smell that goodness, about 5 minutes.
05 -
Put the potatoes and chicken broth in your biggest pot. Bring it all to a boil. After that, turn the heat down and let it cook low for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
