  • 4<\/span> cups<\/span> chicken stock<\/span> or enough to cover potatoes<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> butter<\/span><\/li>
  • 0.25<\/span> cup<\/span> all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> cup<\/span> heavy cream<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> dried tarragon<\/span><\/li>

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Gather all ingredients.<\/div><\/li>
    • Place bacon in a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon pieces on paper towels. Drain off all but 1\/4 cup of the bacon grease.<\/div><\/li>
    • Cook celery and onion in the reserved bacon drippings until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
    • Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saut\u00e9 for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
    • Meanwhile, melt butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro.<\/div><\/li>
    • Bring cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add cream mixture to the potato mixture; stir to combine.<\/div><\/li>
    • Transfer about 1\/2 of the soup to a blender and pur\u00e9e. Return to the Dutch oven. Adjust seasonings to taste.<\/div><\/li>
    • Serve hot and enjoy!<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
