Directions:
Note: See substitute as needed for vegetarians, as options in the ingredients.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add diced bacon.
Cook bacon until crispy.
Make sure to stir pieces to avoid burning the bacon bits.
Once bacon is cooked, drain pieces on paper towels.
Reserve 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease and discard the rest of the oil.
Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent. About 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Add the garlic and cook for a minute or two and stir.
Add in the flour and stir. Cook the flour for a minute or two while stirring.
Add in the chicken stock, milk and diced potatoes.
Cook the soup until it begins to simmer.
Lower heat, cover and cook until potatoes are soft and tender. About 15 to 20 minutes.
Note: Make sure to stir soup a few times through cooking so the bottom doesn't burn.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add in the sour cream and cheese. Stir.
Add in the bacon bits and season soup with salt and pepper.
Serve warm and top with toppings. Enjoy!
