Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Bacon

In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the bacon drippings. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

3

Add Potatoes and Broth

Cube the potatoes and add them to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4

Blend the Soup

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.

5

Add Cream and Seasonings

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat through but do not boil.

6

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
