Best Potato Soup Ever!!

I found this recipe on Pinterest and just had to make it but of course I tweaked it so it isn't exactly the same as the one I found. 

Ingredients:

3-4 russet potatoes 

2/3 cup of sick butter

2/3 cup of flour

4 cups of milk

1 cup of heavy cream

1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable stock

5 slices of uncooked bacon

1/2 cup of sour cream

5 cloves of garlic 

2 bunches of green onions, sliced thinly

Colby Jack Cheese 1-2 cups

Pepper to taste

Wash and cut your potatoes into cubes place them into a pan and boil them for 15 minutes, cook bacon until no longer raw or however you like yours. You can either crumble your bacon up after its cooked or you can slice it up before you cook it. 

Melt you bacon in your soup pan once melted whisk the flour into the butter, once it is smooth with no lumps of flour are visible. Add your milk slowly and one cup at a time once all 4 cups are in the milk add the heavy cream. Put a splash of stock in the mixture. Add pepper.

Take your cooked potatoes and smash them up a little with your whisk, then add them to the cream mixture. Add onions and garlic bring mixture to a boil for 8 minutes and then turn heat down while stirring continuously.  Once the mixture is simmering add cheese, sour cream and bacon (I put the grease in with this too, I know not the healthiest :) 

Enjoy!! I didnt add as much cheese to the mixture while I was cooking it because I knew Tony and I would add more when we ate it. This isn't the healthiest but it is literally the best potato soup I have ever had!!

Some tips:

Because this is a cream based soup KEEP YOUR EYE ON IT!!! You cannot walk away from this at all because if you do it will burn. I let it simmer for about an hour after I finished everything keeping a very close eye on it. Don't cook the potatoes all the way either because if you do when you add them to your soup they'll turn into mush.
