½ tsp salt
8 oz bacon (bite-sized pieces)
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
½ med onion (finely chopped)

¼ cup all-purpose flour (or use Gluten Free 1:1 flour)

¾ cup sour cream

Steps

1
Place sliced potatoes into a stockpot and completely cover with 1" of water. Season with ½ tsp salt and cook 8-10 minutes or until potatoes pierce easily with a knife then drain.
2
Meanwhile, saute bacon in a Dutch oven until crispy and then transfer to a plate, reserving 1 Tbsp bacon grease in the pot.
3
Add 4 Tbsp butter and chopped onions then saute until tender. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Quickly whisk in the flour then slowly add 2 1/2 cups milk and 2 1/2 cups broth, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a soft boil.
5
Add drained potatoes and season soup with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper or season to taste.
6
Stir in 3/4 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar, and half of your cooked bacon (reserving the rest for serving). Bring to a boil then remove from heat and serve with your favorite toppings.
