Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of potatoes, diced
- 1 cup of milk
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pot and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
-
Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until leeks are tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
-
Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to blend in batches and vent the lid to prevent hot soup from exploding.
-
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the milk. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve hot, garnished with the crispy bacon.
