  • 3 cloves Garlic (large, minced)

Instructions

  1. Sizzle the bacon: In a large pot over medium heat, add the bacon pieces. Fry them until they’re crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Once the bacon is crispy, add the chopped onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until they’re soft and translucent.
  3. Add the garlic: Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Create the base: Sprinkle the flour over the bacon and onions, stirring to coat everything well. Cook for about 2 minutes.
  5. Combine the potatoes: Stir in the chopped potatoes, mixing well with the flour mixture.
  6. Add the chicken broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Blend for creaminess: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency.
  8. Introduce the dairy magic: Stir in the milk and heavy cream, mixing well. Season with salt, ground pepper, and the ancho chili powder.
  9. Serve with style: Stir in the sour cream for extra creaminess. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
