How to Make one pot potato soup

STEP ONE: In a large soup pot, cook sliced bacon pieces to desired crispness.

STEP TWO: Remove bacon and set it aside. Leave about one tablespoon of bacon grease in the pot. (I do not measure the grease out, just eyeball it.)

STEP THREE: Add butter and chopped onions to pot. Cook over medium-high heat until onions are translucent. Then add garlic and cook until fragrant.

STEP FOUR: Sprinkle flour over ingredients in pot and stir until smooth.

STEP FIVE: Add diced potatoes to pot along with chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

STEP SIX: Bring ingredients to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender.

STEP SEVEN: Remove about half of soup and place into a blender and puree until smooth. Be careful, it will be HOT.

STEP EIGHT: Return the pureed soup to pot and add sour cream and bacon pieces.

STEP NINE: Simmer for about 15 minutes. Then serve with desired toppings.
