Bacon Broccoli & Cheddar Soup🥓🥦🧀 Start out by chopping up 1 pound of bacon. Cook it in a large pot on medium heat until it’s nice and crispy. Then set it aside on a paper towel. Remove some of the bacon grease from the pot leaving about 3 to 4 tablespoons in there. Then add: -1 yellow onion (diced) -1 cup of matchstick carrots -2 tablespoons of minced garlic Cook until the onions run clear, and create space in the center of your pot. Then add: -4 tablespoons of butter When it’s melted add: -1/3 cup of flour Whisk it all together. Then add: -4 cups of chopped broccoli -3 cups of chicken broth -2 cups of 2% milk -1 cup of heavy whipping cream -1/2 cup of sour cream Whisk it all in and let it simmer until the broccoli is fully cooked. Then season with: -chicken bouillon powder -paprika -salt & pepper to taste Then add: -8 ounces of freshly shredded cheddar cheese -the majority of your crispy bacon (making sure to save a little for garnishing.) When serving, top it off a little more shredded cheese and the bacon. Enjoy💜 #recipe #food #soup #cozy #foodie
