ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
This potato soup has more flavor than any potato soup I have ever had. It is a bit salty due to the bouillon cubes but you can add more milk to dilute if you find it necessary. For less creamy and lower fat, use whole milk instead of half-and-half -- still tastes great!

ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
- Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute 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.
- In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

COMFORT ESSENTIALS: THE ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
About 3 years ago, I was in a London pub that is considered one of the most haunted pubs in the city. Ghosts aside, they make this brilliant potato soup. Problem was that the chef was not about to give away one of her signature recipes. So, I got a takeaway and have been playing about with this recipe for about two years. After many late nights, and about 20 bowls later, at 2:34 this morning I finally got the flavor I was going for, but I will talk more about that later. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- I love potato soup; in my opinion it is one of the quintessential cold weather comfort foods of all time. Well, maybe not of all time, but it is yummy stuff. About 3 years ago, I was in a London pub (The Ten Bells, I think), that is considered one of the most haunted pubs in the city. Ghosts aside, they make this brilliant potato soup. Problem was that the chef was not about to give away one of their signature recipes. So, I got a takeaway and went back to my hotel room to try to pick it apart. I identified a lot of the ingredients but knowing what is in a recipe and knowing the proportions is an entirely different matter. I finally managed to make a good recipe, but I wanted to add something to make it mine, and that is when I came up with making the potatoes with two cooking methods. Some of them are cooked with the soup (pretty traditional), the others are air fried. The end result gives you some comforting potatoes in the soup, plus crispy air fried taters. That gives you an additional layer of flavor, and two different mouth feels to keep you interested. Now, in my introduction I said that the final version of this soup was tasted at 2:34 am. So, how did I know? Well, you are going to love this... the last few weeks we have been having these quick earthquakes; they last only about a second, and they shake the whole dang place. So, as I was taking my first spoonful a quake hit, and when I checked with the USGS, they said the quake occurred at 2:34 in the morning. Here is the recipe link for the air fryer potatoes: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/potatoes/air-fryer-essentials-crispy-spicy-diced-potatoes.html
- Baked Garlic I love what baking does to garlic... it mellows the flavor and creates an awesome ingredient that enhances so many diverse dishes. I use it so much in catering that I usually bake 15 or more heads of garlic at a time, then save them for when needed. Here is the recipe that I use... it is easy/peasy: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?r=4
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Add the bacon to a cold pot, then set the heat to medium.
- Let the bacon slowly cook until it has rendered its fat, and is nice and crispy, about 6 - 8 minutes.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and reserve.
- Add the grated onion and baked garlic to the pan with the bacon grease.
- Cook until the onions soften, and brown slightly, about 3 - 4 minutes.
- Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Add the chicken stock and hot sauce, then stir until combined.
- Add the cubed potatoes.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered until the potatoes begin to break down about 10 - 12 minutes.
- Notice, from the photo, how the potatoes are shedding their outer layer. This will help to thicken the soup without any flour. But do not cook too long or they will completely melt into the soup.
- Add the half & half and gently stir to combine.
- Add the two cheeses.
- Gently stir to melt them into the soup, and season with some salt, pepper.
- Add the sherry and nutmeg, if using.
- When adding the sherry do a bit at a time, then stop and taste.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Ladle into bowls, add the air-fried taters, and then sprinkle with some of the reserved bacon. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
