  • 8 oz Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 medium Onion diced
  • 5 cup Water

Instructions

  • Once this begins to render add the onion and cook until onion is tender.
  • Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, add evaporated milk and stir in potatoes. Add shredded cheese and continue to stir. If the consistency is too thick, you can add milk to thin it to the thickness you prefer.
  • Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally to bring it up to serving temperature.
  • To finish off the presentation, you can fry up a few slices of the remaining bacon and slice some green onions for garnishing. Sprinkle a little shredded cheese, some bacon crumbles and slice green onions over each bowl and it looks and tastes yummy!
