Ingredients:
1/4 lb of slab bacon, rind removed, cut into 1/4 inch dice 2 T. olive oil 1 T. unsalted butter 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 1 T. all-purpose flour 2 Yukon Gold potatoes (6 oz. each), peeled and coarsely chopped 4 cups chicken broth 2 cups grated cheddar cheese 2 T. snipped fresh chives
Directions:
Sauté the bacon over low heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes, and drain. Heat the olive oil and the butter in a large heavy pot over low heat. Add the onion and cook until wilted, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Add the potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, abot 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Strain the soup, combine the onions and 1 cup of the broth in a food processor and process until smooth. Return the Purée and the broth to the pot, and bring the soup to a gentle simmer, over medium heat. Gradually add the cheese, stirring constantly until it melts. Stir in the bacon. Garnish with chives.
