Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 4 cups of potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pot.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot, stirring constantly, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chowder has thickened.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
