Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk or cream for richer soup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 3 slices cooked bacon crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions optional
Instructions

- Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup. You can also mash some potatoes with a fork.

- Ladle soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions if you like. Serve warm with bread or crackers.
