8 slices bacon
1 c diced yellow onions
2/3 c flour
6 c hot chicken stock
4 c diced baked potato – peeled
2 c heavy cream
¼ c chopped parsley
1-1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1-1/2 tsp dried basil
1-1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp red pepper sauce
1-1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
1 c grated cheddar cheese
¼ c diced green onions
Garnish – grated cheese, chopped parsley and bacon bits

Fry bacon bits until crisp. Chop bacon and reserve drippings. Cook onions in remaining drippings over medium-high heat until transparent, about 3 minutes.
Add in flour. Stir frequently to prevent lumps. Cook for 3 – 5 minutes or until mix becomes golden.

Gradually add in chicken stock and let cook until liquid thickens.

Reduce heat to simmer and add potatoes, cream, chopped bacon, parsley, garlic, basil, salt, pepper sauce and black pepper. Let simmer for 8 – 10 minutes.

Add in grated cheese and green onions and simmer until cheese melts smoothly.

Garnish each serving as desired with bacon bits, grated cheese and chopped parsley.

Serves 8
