    Once potatoes are done, remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Carefully peel potatoes and cut into 1” pieces. Set aside.

  • 4

    Heat butter in a large dutch oven. When melted and bubbly, add the onion and sauté until translucent, 5-7 minutes.

  • 5

    Add flour to the butter and onion mixture and sauté for 1 minute before slowly adding the milk and chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time. When all the liquid is incorporated, add the onion powder, garlic powder, and 2 tsp salt.

  • 6

    Place the potato pieces into the soup and mash with a potato masher until incorporated but still a little chunky. Add the sour cream and 3/4 of the bacon, reserving some for garnish.

  • 7

    Garnish soup with additional ingredients and serve warm. Enjoy!
