Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 6–8 slices of beef bacon
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1–2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste (optional)
  • Worcestershire sauce, to taste (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and dicing about 4 large russet potatoes into small cubes. Chop one medium onion and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, cook 6-8 slices of beef bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the bacon drippings and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, usually about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced potatoes, followed by 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher to mash a portion of the potatoes in the pot, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and let it warm through for a few minutes.
  6. Season the chowder with salt and pepper, along with a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  7. Finally, stir in 1-2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Crumble the cooked bacon and mix it back in, reserving a little for garnish.
  8. Ladle the chowder into bowls, and top with extra cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions if desired.
