Ingredients
Bacon 6 strips
Cheddar Cheese 1 cup, shredded
Chicken Broth 4 cups
Garlic 3 cloves
Heavy Cream ½ cup
Onion 1 medium
Potatoes 2 lbs, peeled
Salt 1.5 tsp
Instructions
  1. Cook diced bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave 1 tbsp of bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Add diced onion to the pot and cook 5 minutes in the bacon fat until softened.
  3. Add diced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  4. Add diced potatoes (peeled, 1-inch cubes) and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until potatoes are completely tender.
  6. Use the back of a spoon or a potato masher to crush about half the potatoes — this thickens the soup naturally while keeping some texture.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and salt. Simmer 5 minutes more.
  8. Serve topped with crispy bacon, shredded cheddar, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
