Ingredients:  
1 bulb - garlic cloves, large, slice ¼ inch off top
3 lb. - potatoes (6 large baking potatoes), rinsed & pierced with a fork
6 slices - Louis Rich Turkey Bacon
4 c. - reduced-sodium chicken broth
1½ T. - thyme, freshly chopped

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º. Wrap entire garlic bulb tightly in foil; place garlic and potatoes in oven. (You do not need to put them on a pan - they can go right on an oven rack). Bake garlic until soft when squeezed, about 45 minutes; remove from oven and let cool. Continue baking potatoes until tender when pierced, about 15 minutes longer; let potatoes stand until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain off any fat; chop bacon. Unwrap garlic and squeeze pulp from bulb with hands into a large saucepan. Peel potatoes and add to saucepan; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Gradually stir in broth, thyme, salt and pepper until blended; place saucepan over medium heat and cook until hot, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon 1 & 1/3 cups of soup into each of 6 soup bowls. Top each with 1 T. of sour cream, 1 T. of cheese, 1 rounded T. of bacon and 1 T. of scallions. Grind fresh pepper over top if desired.
