Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup cabbage, chopped
- 4 cups chicken stock
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
- ½ cup bacon, cooked and chopped into small pieces (not as small as bacon bits- see photo in instructions) * I use pre-cooked bacon because it is faster and sooo much less messy!
- ½ cup 1% milk
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 ¼ cups sharp/old cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic (optional)
Garnish
- additional chopped bacon
- fresh dill
- additional grated cheddar cheese, if desired
- sour cream, if desired
Instructions
- In large saucepan, melt butter and saute onion. Add garlic (if using)
- Add potatoes, cabbage, celery seed and chicken stock.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in microwave (if using pre-cooked) or on stove top. Remove as much grease as possible by patting with a paper towel and chop. Set aside.
- Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and add to food processor.
- Combine removed vegetables with flour, milk and sour cream in food processor or blender. Puree in food processor or blender until smooth. * It's best to puree in 2 batches.
- Return puree to soup. Then add cheese and bacon and reheat. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
Garnish
- Garnish with bacon bits, dill and if desired, bits of grated cheese and/or sour cream (optional)
