A creamy and comforting chicken bacon potato soup that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 cups Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups (420 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded, chopped
  • 1 cup (113 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. To a large pot over medium heat, add bacon. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the bacon and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the pot, discarding the rest.
  2. To the reserved bacon drippings, add the onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Stir in the chicken broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the chicken, cheese, heavy cream, and half of the bacon.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the soup. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish the soup with reserved bacon and green onion. Serve hot.

Notes

  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a little water or broth if needed to thin it out.
