  • Add flour: Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir to create a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add potatoes and broth: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Add diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Blend (optional): For a smoother texture, partially blend the soup with an immersion blender, or mash some of the potatoes with a spoon.
  • Add cream and bacon: Stir in the cream and most of the cooked bacon (reserving some for garnish). Simmer for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with extra bacon, shredded cheese, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream.

    • Tips & Variations

    • Make it lighter: Use milk or a dairy-free alternative instead of heavy cream.
    • Add veggies: Corn, celery, or carrots make great additions.
    • Thicken it more: Stir in a bit of mashed potato flakes or extra roux if you like it extra creamy.
    • Use leftover ham instead of bacon for a delicious variation.
