Ingredients

8 slices bacon, chopped
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups whole milk

Steps

Cook bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside, leaving about 2–3 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pot.
Add butter and sauté onion and garlic until soft. Whisk in flour to make a roux.
Pour in chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, potatoes, and seasonings. Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
Blend about half of the soup in a blender until smooth, then stir it back in.
