A comforting and creamy potato soup with the smoky goodness of bacon. Perfect for a cozy meal on a chilly day.
Ingredients: 4 slices bacon, chopped. 1 onion, diced. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 4 cups diced potatoes. 4 cups chicken broth. 1 cup heavy cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped fresh chives for garnish.
Instructions: In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the bacon grease. Saut until the onion becomes translucent. Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve the potato soup hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh chives.
