03 Method

Step 1

Wash, peel, and dice your potatoes. Dice onion, mince garlic, and grate your cheese with a box grater. After grating the cheese, grate your carrot using the coarse side of your grater.
Step 2

Heat the butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until tender and slightly browned around the edges. Next add carrots and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3

Next add your potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer once boiling. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.
Step 4

If you're using fresh bacon here (skip for the veggie version) cook in a skillet on med-high heat unit crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
Step 5

Remove soup from heat, and puree the soup with an immersion blender, leaving some potato chunks in the soup for added texture. In a pinch grab a potato masher and mash partially for an extra chunky potato soup!
Step 6

At this point feel free to add any additional salt and pepper you desire. Add a few TBSP of scallions or chives and stir in your heavy cream.
Step 7

Ladle soup into bowls and top with grated cheddar, bacon (or veggie bacon bits), chopped chives or scallions, sour cream, and any extras your heart desires!
