Preparation
- Cook bacon as desired. Set bacon aside once cooked, reserving the bacon fat for later usage. WIth kitchen twine, make an herb bouquet with the thyme and bay leaves. Set aside
- In a large soup pot, add 2 tbsp bacon fat, onions, garlic, seasoning salt and the herb bouquet. Cook over medium low heat for 12-15 minutes until the onions and garlic are softened. Then, add in 2 tbsp of butter and flour, stirring until everything forms a paste. Cook for 2 minutes so the flour is no longer raw.
- Add in the broth and increase heat to medium-high until the broth starts to bubble. Be sure to stir the broth and flour mixture together so the flour does not clump. Once the heat is turned up, season with salt and pepper to taste as broth starts to thicken.
- Add in potatoes and turn heat down to medium. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are cooked . Then, reduce heat to medium low and stir in heavy cream.
- Adjust seasonings to taste and serve with toppings of your choice.
