# Instructions:

01 - Scoop into bowls and pile on green onions, melt some cheddar over the top, then crumble bacon at the end.
02 - Keep it bubbling gently for 20 minutes, remember to stir a few times. Once done, put in the boiled potato chunks and give everything a good mix.
03 - Now whisk your roux into that hot broth. Slowly stir in the heavy cream until it's silky and blended.
04 - Melt butter in a clean pan over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour, whisk until there's no lumps left, then let it cook for a couple minutes.
05 - Grab a big pot. Throw in your chicken broth, water, diced onions, a pinch of salt, and that ground black pepper. Let it simmer on medium for 20 minutes.
06 - Chop potatoes into little cubes. Boil them until soft, then drain. Set aside for later.

# Notes:

01 - This is a super creamy Outback-style potato soup
02 - Works great if you make it early and gently warm it back up
