1 Yellow Onion, diced
4 Tbsp of All Purpose Flour

8 Slices of Bacon
3 cups of Chicken Stock

1) In a large dutch oven or soup pot, cook the bacon until it becomes nice and crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate using a slotted spoon and set aside.
2) Discard any fat that the bacon rendered and add the butter and onion and saute until the onion becomes translucent and develops a bit of color, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3) Add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, add the milk, stock and potatoes and bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
4) Add the sour cream, cooked bacon and cheese and stir everything together and cook for 5 more minutes.
5) Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle some chopped green onions over the top with a little extra sprinkle of cheese.
