Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can Cheddar cheese soup
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • About 4 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
  • 5 strips bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded creamy mozzarella
For Garnish
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Crumbled cooked bacon
  • Sliced scallions
  • Crushed buttery crackers like Ritz

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in the potatoes, cream of chicken soup, Cheddar cheese soup, and chicken broth. Add Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped chicken and bacon. Lower the heat and let the soup gently simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are tender and everything is cozy and thick.
  4. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream and mozzarella until melted and creamy.
  5. Ladle into bowls and top with shredded Cheddar, extra bacon, scallions, and crushed crackers.

Notes

This soup is not subtle. It’s bold, rich, cheesy, and proud of it. It doesn’t whisper comfort.
It yells it in a very friendly, bacon-scented way. And honestly, that’s exactly what some days need.
