Notes
This soup is great for lunchtime. The potatoes cook in the reserved bacon drippings until translucent. Add the garlic and celery. Continue to sauté until the potatoes are soft. Remove the bacon and discard the drippings. The soup will be richer. To make this soup even creamier, stir in the heavy cream. When serving, garnish with some cilantro and chives. When cooking in a saucepan, you may want to adjust the salt level if it is not salted.
