Ingredients:
-1 pound bacon chopped
-2 carrots peeled and sliced
-1 tsp. onion powder
-4 Russet Potatoes (large) peeled and diced

-2 cups chicken broth
-3-3.5 cups whipping cream
-2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
-Salt & pepper to taste
-Sour cream
Instructions:Cooks’ notes:
- Soak diced potatoes in cold water until ready to use to keep them from turning brown.
- To make the bacon easier to chop, lightly freeze.
- In a large pot fry bacon until crispy over medium heat. When done, take the bacon out and let drain on a plate with a paper towel on it.
- In the bacon fat, cook carrots for 3-4 minutes. Add potatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Whisk flour in your pot until the flour is cooked and it has thickened up a little bit (about 5 minutes).
- Add chicken broth, half the bacon(the other half will be used for garnish), and salt & pepper.
- Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes are until the potatoes are soft.
- Mash any potatoes if needed if you want a more creamier consistency. Add whipping cream and 1 cup of cheese – simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add more broth if needed for a creamy consistency. Season to taste.
- Add more cheese to the top along with sour cream and left over bacon pieces. ENJOY.
