Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons Salted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 large Sweet Onions
  • 5 cloves Garlic finely diced
  • 3 stalks Green Onion finely diced (plus more for garnish)
  • ½ cup Flour
  • 2 32 oz boxes Organic Chicken Broth (I'm using Pacific Foods)
  • 3 cups Russet Potatoes finely Diced
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup Sour Cream

For Garnish:

  • Green Onion thinly sliced
  • Sour Cream
  • Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Add salted butter and olive oil to a large pot over medium heat.
  • Once melted, add onions, a pinch of salt, and stir. Cook down for 15 minutes or until they’re beginning to caramelize.
  • Stir in garlic and green onion, and cook for 3 more minutes or until garlic is tender and fragrant.
  • Stir in the flour (it will be slightly chunky) and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly darkened.
  • Add in the chicken broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Drop the heat to low then stir in sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Season to taste with kosher salt (I recommend about a half tsp) and some fresh cracked black pepper.
  • Serve hot with additional sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, and crushed sour cream and onion potato chips.
