Ingredients

Scale

For the potato soup:

8 medium potatoes (washed, peeled, and diced)

4 cans chicken broth

2 cups cold water

1 small white onion, diced

1 tsp salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 cup butter

3/4 cup flour

1 1/2 cups of heavy cream

Optional soup toppings:

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup cooked chopped bacon

1/4 cup finely-diced chopped chives

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil until fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a paste.
  3. Add the chicken broth, water, onions, salt, and pepper to the pot. Let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the butter and flour mixture into the pot, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken.
  5. Gradually stir in the heavy cream and potatoes. Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes. 
  6. Serve the soup as is or garnished with shredded cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.
