Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 finely diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
  3. Raise the heat back to medium-high and slowly whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth along with 10.5 ounces of cream of chicken soup. Bring it to a gentle boil.
  4. Carefully stir in 4 cups of diced russet potatoes and allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and mix in 1 cup of crumbled bacon, 1 cup of shredded Colby cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Stir well.
  6. Serve hot in bowls, finishing each serving with a sprinkle of diced fresh green onions on top.
