Preparation
Finely chop the onions. Peel and dice the white potatoes. Crush the garlic cloves. Grate the mature Cheddar.
Method
- 1 Melt the butter in a pan, then cook the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until soft.
- 2 Add the potatoes and stock, and bring to the boil; simmer for 15 minutes. Move on to the next step while you wait.
- 3 Dry-fry the bacon until crispy, then set aside.
- 4 Add the milk to the soup and warm through.
- 5 Remove from the heat, stir through three-quarters of the cheese, then whizz with a stick blender until smooth.
- 6 Season to taste, adding a little water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- 7 Divide among bowls to serve and garnish with the bacon and the remaining cheese.

Really delicious recipe. I've made it twice already and will definitely make it again. I take it in as a lunch sometimes without the bacon so having it at home with is a real treat.
