Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of heavy cream

Equipment

  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped potatoes and chicken broth to the pot with the onions and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender to puree until smooth.
  5. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Divide the soup into bowls and top with the crispy bacon and chopped chives, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable or beef broth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can skip the pureeing step and leave the potatoes and onions as they are.
