Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups diced peeled Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Cooked bacon, crumbled (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and add diced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  3. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until mostly smooth, leaving some potato chunks for texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer about half the soup to a regular blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
  4. Stir in milk and cheddar cheese. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and soup is heated through. Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with chives and crumbled bacon.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy soup, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like extra shredded cheese, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated gently on the stovetop.
