Now and then my husband and I like to have soup, the problem is trying to find one we both like, so that I don’t have to make two separate ones. We were able to come to a decision and this is what we agreed on, and it was out of this world! I did not make the bread bowls, only the soup. I do plan on making them soon.

4 potatoes

8 slices of bacon

4 tablespoons of butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cups of flour

2 cups milk

1 cup half and half

2 cups chicken stock

1 tablespoon of salt

1 cup mild cheddar cheese

1 cup pepper jack cheese

1 cup sour cream

cook the potatoes in the microwave for 12-15 mins, cut them in half when they are done and let them cool

cook the bacon and crumble

in a pot melt the butter, garlic, and onion, cook for 3 mins

slowly whisk the flour into the pan and stir for 2 mins

slowly whisk in the milk and half and half

keep whisking until smooth

add the chicken stock a little at a time

bring to a light simmer and whisk in the salt and garlic

simmer until the soup has thickened

stir in bacon, and sour cream, remove from heat

scoop potato chunks into the pan breaking them into small pieces

garnish with bacon and cheese

enjoy!
