Introduction

i recommend home-made chicken stock so the soup has a good, natural thickness. If using store-bought you may have to thicken soup with a roux. also, feel free to add more potatoes or corn or whatever, these are just my proportions. Next time i make this i will add some pulled chicken. i sprinkled a little shredded cheese on top before i served. i recommend home-made chicken stock so the soup has a good, natural thickness.

Directions

1. put bacon in soup pot big enough for all ingredients and start cooking, once enough fat has been given off to coat bottom of pan put in celery, carrots and onion. allow to cook for a few minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, then add garlic and cook for another minute or so.
