Ingredients

  • 6 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup (30g) all purpose flour
  • 4 cups (950ml) chicken broth/stock
  • 2 cups (475ml) milk of choice
  • 2 pounds (900g) Potatoes of choice, cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup (110g) sour cream (fat level of choice)

Instructions

  • In a large pot brown the bacon, onion, and celery until onion is soft and translucent (about 5-7 minutes). Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. 
  • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Stir in chicken broth and milk until well combined. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on medium-low to low for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. The smaller your potatoes the quicker they will cook. 
  • When potatoes are tender remove from heat and stir in sour cream. 

Notes

  1. I like to use Yukon gold potatoes because they hold their shape well after cooking. However, any potato will work for this recipe. 
  2. Nutrition Facts: Nutrition was calculated using low sodium chicken broth, whole milk, and regular sour cream. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the information shown is just an estimate.
