ingredients

01.

Thoroughly clean the leeks with lukewarm water to remove any dirt between the leaves. Chop the white part and light green parts to use them in the soup.

Heat a large thick-bottomed pot over medium-high heat on the stove top and add the strips of bacon. Cook bacon, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until it reaches your desired level of crisp.

02.

Use tongs to remove the cooked bacon and place it on a plate. Set aside until ready to use. Leave the bacon drippings in the pot to be used as oil for cooking.

03.

04.

Add the chopped leeks and chopped potatoes to the pot of bacon drippings and cook over medium heat until the veggies begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 3 minutes.

05.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring soup to a full boil, uncovered. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender when poked with a fork. Transfer ⅔ of the soup to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
