Ingredients


1 pound thick cut bacon, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves minced garlic
cup all purpose flour
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups milk
2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, diced
3 ribs celery, diced
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh minced tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
teaspoon white pepper
cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
1 tablespoon minced chives, optional


Instructions


1 Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add in diced bacon and cook until crispy, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove crispy bacon and transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Remove excess bacon grease from skillet, leaving just 1 tablespoon of grease in the pot.

2 Return pot to medium-high heat. Add in onion and saute 7 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add in butter and garlic and stir until butter is melted. Stir in flour and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.

3 Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk. Add in celery and potato and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue simmering until potatoes are soft and tender, about 15 minutes.

4 Once potatoes are tender, stir in sour cream and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5 Serve hot topped with cooked bacon, chives, and an additional dollop of sour cream.
