Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon, diced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated), plus extra for serving
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ¾-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, plus extra for serving
- fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Steps
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 1–2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
-
Add the white parts of the scallions to the bacon fat and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
-
Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender.
-
For a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to partially purée the soup, leaving some chunks. Or mash a few potatoes by hand with a spoon or masher. (Skip this step if you prefer it brothy and chunky.)
-
Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. If desired, add a splash of milk or cream to make it extra creamy. Serve warm, garnished with the crispy bacon, plus and extra cheese and scallions if desired, and enjoy!
