Preparation
Step 1
You'll need to start by preparing your potatoes and bacon (be sure to reserve bacon grease).
Using a large stock pot over medium heat, cook onion in bacon drippings, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add garlic and flour, stirring well and cook another 2 minutes, stirring often.
Slowly add chicken broth to onion and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in potatoes, half-and-half, and next 6 ingredients. Bring to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes (do not boil). Stir in bacon.
Serve hot. Spoon into bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese and bacon.
