Ingredients
- 1lb bacon

- 2 large carrots
- 3/4 cup organic unbleached flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice (I used half heavy cream half 2%)

Instructions
- Cut bacon into smaller pieces and begin to fry in a large pot.
- While bacon is frying start dicing the onions, carrots, and celery.
- When bacon is finished remove it from the pot and set aside.
- Place the onions, carrots, and celery into the pot with the remaining bacon grease and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, and thyme to your taste buds.
- While veggies are sautéing peal and cube potatoes to your liking. I left about half the skins on.
- Whisk in the flour.
- Pour milk into the pot and whisk until there are no more clumps.
- Pour the broth, potatoes, and minced garlic into the pot and stir together.
- Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
