Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups whole milk
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream

For Garnish (Optional but Recommended)

Cooked bacon, crumbled
Chopped chives or green onions
Extra shredded cheese

Instructions

In a large stainless-steel pot, melt butter over medium heat.

Add diced onion and cook 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes.

Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring to prevent lumps.

Add milk, diced potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.

Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth (or blend partially for texture).

Stir in cheddar cheese and sour cream until fully melted and creamy.

Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with desired toppings.
