Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 6 golden potatoes washed, peeled, and cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 3/4 cup corn optional
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooked bacon, chopped scallions, chopped ham for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic until they become translucent.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are soft and can be pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
  • Measure out milk with a measuring cup. Stir together flour and milk together. Add to potato mixture. Stir.
  • Scoop 2 cups of the soup into a blender. Blend until smooth. This will add thickness. Add back into main soup mixture. Add corn at this point if you are using.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and blends into the soup. Add in seasonings. Top with bacon, ham, scallions, and any extra cheese. Serve hot!
