Topped with sour cream, cheddar cheese & bacon this Homemade Potato Soup Recipe is ready in around 30 minutes & tastes better than Panera Bread's recipe.
Peel the potatoes and cut the potatoes into ½ inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a heavy sauce pan or dutch oven and add the chicken broth and chicken bouillon cubes.
Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Using a potato mash, mash the potatoes while they are still in the sauce pan.
Add the 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to simmer until the soup has thickened. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with sour cream, crumbled bacon and chives.
