📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes.

2
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon or tongs, and allow it to drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Turn the element off and let the pot cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes, which will help reduce the temperature of the rendered bacon drippings.

3
After the pot has cooled, turn the heat to medium-low. Add the diced onion and sauté until the onions become translucent (about ⏱️ 5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, or until fragrant.

Immediately add the diced potatoes, dried thyme, smoked paprika, dried rosemary, onion powder, and ground cayenne to the pot. Stir well, coating the potatoes with the dried seasonings.

Once a boil is reached, lower the heat to low-medium and cover the pot. Simmer for about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
7
Using an immersion blender (or potato masher), partially blend the potatoes in the pot to thicken the soup, all while still leaving a few larger pieces for texture.
8
Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, thickened, and the cheese melts into the soup. Remove from the heat.
9
Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper to your taste, as well as any seasonings.
