Our Favorite Potato Soup

This truly is a favorite around here. Jeremiah asks me to make it regularly! I usually have the ingredients on hand and it's fairly inexpensive!

Ingredients:

Turkey bacon

1 T butter

half an onion

a clove of garlic

3 T AP flour

1 t salt

1 t dried basil flakes

1/2 t pepper

3 cups chicken broth

2 large baked potatoes, cooked and diced

1 cup half and half (whole milk works, too)

1/2 tsp hot sauce

sour cream and cheese to garnish

Directions:

Dice and then saute the turkey bacon (I use about half a package) and set aside. Melt butter in the pan and then cook the onions and garlic. Add the flour, salt, basil and pepper and stir to combine. Slowly add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Boil for a couple of minutes. Add potatoes, half and half and hot sauce. Allow to get hot, but not boil. Garnish and serve!
