Reserve about 2 T bacon grease.
In a large soup pot, saute onions, celery, salt, and half the garlic in bacon grease until onions are soft and light brown.
Add carrot, potatoes, and the rest of the garlic
Fry until the potatoes have soaked up the remaining grease and are a light brown from the onions. Not brown from being seared.

Notes: This is a recipe I made up that my family loves every time. It is very tasty and has so little dairy it doesn't bother those here who are lactose intolerant. It is still quite creamy though, and will satisfy those who like a rich tasting soup. I don't really write recipes except for those for my own referral, so please come to me if there are any problems or you have questions.
