Cheesy Chicken and Potato Soup image

I was messing around in my kitchen one day when I was hungry and came up with this using what I already had. It's cheap, easy, and delicious! Top with extra cheese and bacon bits.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup onion, diced
1 tablespoon bacon grease
3 cups 1-inch potato chunks
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
3 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Heat bacon grease in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot grease until soft, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir potato chunks with the onion. Pour chicken broth and water over the potato mixture. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into the butter and cook, stirring constantly, until completely moistened, about 1 minute. Pour milk into the saucepan while continuing to stir; cook until thickened, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle cheese over the milk mixture; cook and stir until the cheese is melted smoothly into the mixture, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Stir the cheese mixture and cooked chicken into the liquid in the stockpot; cook just until the chicken is heated through, about 4 minutes.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this soup without the potatoes. It was still very good.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this soup with vegan cheese and it was still delicious!

This soup was a disaster! The cheese curdled and the potatoes were undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out bland. I think I'll add more salt and pepper next time.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste, but it's still very good.
