Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth/stock
  • 2 cups milk of choice
  • 2 pounds potatoes of choice, cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup sour cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, brown the bacon, onion, and celery until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring until everything is well combined.
  5. Add the cut potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover the pot and simmer on medium-low to low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Once the potatoes are tender, remove from heat and stir in the sour cream.

Notes

For best texture, use a mix of different potatoes. You can add vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition. Blend part of the soup for a thicker consistency.
