Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon

  3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add diced potatoes and chicken stock to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. Stir in diced ham if using, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon pieces.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

For a creamier texture, you can mash some of the potatoes in the soup or add a splash of cream. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Leftovers reheat well and flavors deepen overnight.
