  • Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, four to five minutes.
  • Add the flour, salt, and pepper, and stir until combined and the flour smells like pie dough, about three minutes.
  • Add the milk, chicken broth, and heavy cream, whisking until all the lumps are smooth.
  • Add the potatoes and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender.
  • Add half the bacon and half of the scallions. Stir until combined.
  • Spoon in the sour cream until no longer visible.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese until completely melted through. Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Garnish with bacon bits, shredded cheese, sour cream, and scallions.
