Ingredients
- 7-8 baking potatoes peeled, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half and half
- salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound bacon cooked crispy, crumbled
- shredded cheese, variety of your choice
- full-fat sour cream
- green onion thinly sliced
Instructions
Dutch oven:
- Brown the bacon in a Dutch oven over medium to high heat. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon. Set on a few paper towels to drain the fat.
- Drain all but 1 tablespoon or so of the bacon fat. Saute the onions and garlic in the fat, just until translucent. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the butter and let melt. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it's lightly browned. Stir with a wooden spoon so it does not stick to the pan.
- Add the chicken stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the potatoes for 20-30 minutes, or until tender. Mash with a potato masher. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste.
- Gently stir in the half and half, a little at a time. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, and ground mustard. Add more ground pepper if necessary. Stir with a spoon occasionally. Let simmer over medium to low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the soup is thickened slightly.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
Slow cooker:
- Place the baking potatoes, chicken broth, onion, garlic, butter, salt, ground pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Mash the potatoes. Sprinkle with the flour and half and half. Stir everything together with a spoon. Continue to cook another 1-2 hours, or until the soup has thickened slightly.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
