  • 1 cup chicken stock

  • Add the stock, and continue to stir to incorporate the stock into the potatoes.
  • Cook until the soup begins to simmer, about 5-10 minutes, stirring regularly.
  • When the soup has begun to simmer, add the sour cream, and stir to incorporate.
  • Garnish with bacon and extra sour cream, and enjoy!
