Directions
- 1Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork to prevent them from exploding in the microwave.
- 2Microwave the potatoes for 12-15 minutes.
- 3Add a little olive oil to a soup pot over medium heat.
- 4Add the diced onion to the pot.
- 5Let the onions sweat down until they are nice and caramelized.
- 6Add 1-2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the pot.
- 7Add half a stick of butter to the pot once the onion and garlic have some color.
- 8Once the butter is melted, add half a cup of flour to the pot.
- 9Whisk the flour into the mixture to create a roux and cook for a couple of minutes to knock out the raw flour taste.
- 10Pour two cups of chicken stock into the pot.
- 11Add three cups of milk to the pot and bring the mixture to a light boil, continuing to whisk to prevent burning or sticking.
- 12Put on a glove to handle the hot potatoes.

- 14Season the soup with salt and pepper.
- 15Add a smidge of parsley to the soup.
- 16Add a 16-ounce block of Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes, to help it melt faster and give the soup a thick creamy texture.
- 17Add 3/4 cup of sour cream to the soup.
- 18Add 4-6 strips of cooked, chopped bacon to the soup.
- 19Turn off the heat once all the cheese is good and melted.
