Instructions

1. Cook the chopped bacon in a large pot until crispy. Remove and set aside.

2. Add butter to the bacon grease, then sautée onions and garlic until softened.

3. Stir in the flour to create a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and simmer until thickened slightly.

4. Add potatoes, carrots, and chicken. Simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender.

5. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream. Let soup heat through without boiling.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
