How to Make Baked Potato Soup

Step-by-Step

In a large soup pot cook bacon, rendering fat. Once cooked remove bacon from pan leaving fat.
Add onions and garlic cook until tender
Stir in flour, salt, basil and pepper mix well
Gradually add chicken stock/broth. Bring to boil and stir for 2 or 3 minutes until it become thickened.
Add the potato that you cut up smaller first and mash it into the liquids (I used an immersion blender)
Then add the 1 cup cheese when it is melted add the cream and mix well.
Add the rest of the potatoes and heat through. Garnish with the bacon from earlier. the parsley and more cheese.
