- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cover them with chicken broth. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and reduce the butter. Avoid boiling the soup after adding dairy ingredients.
