Cooking Method
Recipe Ingredients
<strong>4</strong> strips bacon, chopped
<strong>1</strong> large onion, diced
<strong>2</strong> cloves garlic, minced
<strong>4 cups</strong> chopped potatoes
<strong>1</strong> bay leaf
<strong>1 tsp</strong> paprika
<strong>1 tsp</strong> fresh thyme
<strong>1/4 tsp</strong> white pepper
<strong>4 cups</strong> no-salt-added chicken broth
<strong>1 tsp</strong> salt
<strong>1 tsp</strong> black pepper
<strong>4 cups</strong> <a href="https://www.lays.com/products/lays-classic-potato-chips">LAY'S® Classic Potato Chips</a> crushed and divided
<strong>1 cup</strong> heavy or whipping (35%) cream
<strong>1 cup</strong> shredded cheddar cheese, for garnishing
<strong>2</strong> green onions, thinly sliced
<strong>1/2 cup</strong> sour cream
Recipe Directions
In Dutch oven or large saucepan set over medium heat, cook bacon, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes or until bacon is golden and crispy. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined plate.
Add onion and garlic to Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until starting to soften. Stir in potatoes, bay leaf, paprika, thyme and white pepper. Pour in broth and season with salt and black pepper.
Reserve 1 cup LAY’S® Classic Potato Chips for garnishing. Stir in remaining chips into soup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender and falling apart, and soup is thickened. Remove bay leaf.
Stir in cream; bring back to a simmer. Using immersion blender, purée soup until smooth. (Alternatively, let cool slightly and, in batches, carefully purée in stand blender.)
Divide soup among 6 bowls. Top each with cheddar, bacon and green onions. Finish with dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with reserved chips.
