This Loaded Potato Soup is full of tender potatoes, sweet onions, crisp bacon, and chopped chives all in a creamy cheesy broth with a little bit of sour cream. I love to serve this fabulous soup with Cheddar Biscuits with Chive Butter and a simple garden salad. It is a favorite in our house and a frequent request from my son.

Steps:
- 1. In a Dutch oven or heavy stockpot over medium heat brown the bacon. Using a slotted spoon remove the bacon from the pan reserving the grease. Add enough butter to make 2 tablespoons of fat. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions to the pan cooking for 5 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the garlic and the cayenne pepper; cooking for 1 minute stirring constantly. Using a slotted spoon remove the potatoes, onions and garlic to a bowl or plate; reserving any fat in the pan.
- 2. Melt enough butter to make 4 tablespoons of fat. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. Whisk in the chicken broth and milk in several intervals alternating between the two.
- 3. Add the potatoes, onions and garlic back to the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- 4. Whisk in both shredded cheeses until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the bacon, sour cream, chives and salt and pepper to taste.
