Ingredients:  
1/2 pound thick sliced bacon (cut into 1 1/2 cm pieces)
• 1 large yellow onion (small diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 5 tablespoons flour

Directions:
1. Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

2. To the same pot with the rendered bacon fat, add the onion and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Slowly add in the chicken stock and milk, whisking until there are no lumps. Season with 2 teaspoons of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes, bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

3. Using a blender, puree the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved crispy bacon and some sliced scallions to serve.

Personal Notes:
I like my soup chunky, so I reserve some potato chunks to put back into the soup after blending.
