Start out by chopping up 1 pound of bacon and cook it in a pot on medium heat. Cook it until it’s nice and crispy and 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 cup of diced onion -1 tablespoon of minced garlic Cook until the onions run clear and then add: -4 tablespoons of butter Then once the butter is melted add: -1/3 cup of flour And whisk it all together until smooth Then slowly whisk in the following (slowly and a little bit at a time): -2 cups of 2% milk -1 cup of heavy whipping cream -1/2 cup of sour cream -3 cups of chicken broth Once it comes to a simmer add: -4 cups worth of cooked and peeled potatoes. (I’m using the insides of the potato skins I made in my last video, but you can just boil and chop up some potatoes or bake some in the oven.) Season to taste with: -chicken bouillon powder -paprika -and salt and pepper Then add: -1 cup of freshly shredded cheddar cheese -the majority of your crispy bacon (make sure to save a little for garnishing.) Then serve once the cheese melts and top it off with: -a little more cheese -your bacon -chives or green onion -a dollop of sour cream Enjoy💜 #food #soup #foodie #soup #loadedbakedpotato #recipe
