Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving bacon fat.
  • In the same pot, add butter and sauté onions and garlic until softened. Stir in flour to make a roux.

  • Substitute heavy cream for milk for a richer texture.
