The only difference in mine is I used what I had on hand... 
2% Milk and I omitted the Green Onions.

What You'll Need...
4 Potatoes - peeled and diced into 1/2" pieces
1 Yellow onion - diced
4 tbsp. all purpose flour
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
8 slices of bacon
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups of whole milk
1/2 cup of sour cream
1&1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
chopped green onions
salt and pepper to taste

Directions...
In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, cook the bacon until it becomes nice and crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, set aside.

Discard any fat that the bacon rendered, add the butter and onion to the pot and sauté till the onion becomes translucent and develops a bit of color, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, add the milk, stock and potatoes bring to a simmer, cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.   

Add the sour cream, cooked bacon (cut into pieces) and cheese, stir everything together and cook for 5 minutes more.

 Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve, sprinkling some chopped green onion and cheese over top.

Enjoy <3

  4. Just came to look at your soup recipe and also to thank you for stopping by my blog. Thank you!
    I had a little chuckle when i read the above comment about how many servings in your recipe. Soup like that either serves 6-8 OR just 1 Kathleen ;) I will definitely be trying that!
    Have a great weekend.
