Instructions

Cook 6 chopped bacon slices in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside for toppings later.
In the same pot, sauté 1 chopped onion with the 6 tablespoons unsalted butter until it becomes translucent.
Add the flour and brown for 3 minutes.
Stir in the 4 cups chicken broth and 3 cups milk and bring it to a boil.
Now peel and dice up 6 russet potatoes. Add the chopped potatoes into the pot and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are fully cooked and fork-tender.
Then add the chopped green onion.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Lastly, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Then serve the potato soup in a bowl and top it with the cooked bacon bites, extra shredded cheddar, sour cream, and chopped green onion.
