Recipe View Prepare the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 7-10 minutes, or until fork-tender. (Time estimate: 7-10 minutes)

Recipe View Develop the Base: Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened slightly. (Time estimate: 5-10 minutes)

Recipe View Finish and Serve: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the sour cream and Cheddar cheese until fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with extra Cheddar cheese and crispy bacon bits, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth in place of some of the milk.
To ensure the potatoes cook evenly in the microwave, stir them halfway through the cooking time.
If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after adding the potatoes.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as chopped chives, green onions, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
Ensure that the potatoes are completely tender before adding them to the soup. Undercooked potatoes will result in a grainy texture.
