Instructions
- Place the sliced 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.
- Saute the celery and onions in the reserved bacon drippings until the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic has browned and is fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring and sauteeing until the flour has browned and smells nutty.
- Return the cooked bacon to the pot and add in the potatoes. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the potatoes. Stir in the tarragon and the basil.
- Cover and simmer on low heat until the potatoes are tender and falling apart, around 40-45 minutes.
- Whisk in the heavy cream. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup for a few seconds, until thicker. If desired, puree the entire soup, or just enough to thicken the soup. You can also remove 2 cups of the soup and puree it in a blender, then return to the soup.
