Instructions
In a large pot, combine diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Reduce heat and stir in cream cheese and sour cream until well blended, keeping heat low.
Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted, loosening with additional broth if too thick.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust as necessary.
Serve hot, topped with bacon bit
Notes
For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes in the pot. For a smoother texture, pulse with a hand blender.
