Ingredients
Scale

- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup bacon bits (crispy)

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
