1 T salt

Freshly ground pepper

You want to get a heavy soup pot and put it over medium-high heat. When it gets hot add the bacon. You want to let the bacon cook down and the fat render out. Stir from time to time to cook the bacon evenly. Then you want to add your onion, two pinches of salt, and one grind of pepper. Cook for 3 mins on medium heat. Then add the garlic and cook for another min. At this point you want to add the potatoes and stir to mix everything up. After cooking for 4 mins add the chicken stock and bring up to a boil and then turn heat down to a simmer. Continue to cook for 20 mins stir every few mins to keep from burning on the bottom. The potatoes will began to dissolve. That is ok and a good thing. Check you seasoning and then add your milk and more salt or pepper if needed. Then you are ready to chow down and ENJOY!
