Dice potatoes, onion, leek, and carrots.<\/p>\n
Place potatoes in water to prevent browning and get rid of a bit of starch.<\/p>\n
Cook bacon in your soup pot.<\/p>\n
Add onion, leek, and carrots, and cook until translucent.<\/p>\n
Add strained potatoes.<\/p>\n
Gradually whisk in flour.<\/p>\n
Add half of the bacon and all of the chicken broth.<\/p>\n
Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Simmer covered for 20-30 min.<\/p>\n
While cooking, shred the cheese finely, crumble bacon, and chop the chives.<\/p>\n
Once potatoes are soft enough, add heavy cream and milk to the pot, stir, and simmer for another 5 min to bring up to temp.<\/p>\n
Season with salt as needed.<\/p>\n
Garnish with pepper, Monterey jack, cheddar, sour cream, bacon and chives.<\/p>\n
