To make the soup, you need to cook bacon over medium heat until crispy in one large pot. Remove once browned and set aside. Soak up the bacon grease with a paper towel.
Next, add in your butter and onion to the pan and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the onions have soften. Throw in your garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add in your flour and stir for about one minute,
Now its time to whisk in your heavy cream and milk – pour in slowly while stirring. Do the same with your chicken broth. For flavour, add in your salt, pepper, chicken bouillon, and cayenne. Stir to combine.
Add in your potatoes and bring to a boil. Leave them to boil on high head for around 15 minutes until fork tender. Reduce the heat and add in your cheddar cheese and some bacon, stir until melted.
Next, mash your potatoes until desired consistency. Once ready, serve immediately and top with more cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions.
Samantha served hers in a festive pumpkin bowl which she purchased from the special aisle in Aldi for £19.99.
