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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality potato. Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup, as they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a smooth and creamy soup.
- Peel and dice the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they will not cook evenly and the soup will be lumpy.
- Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good choices. You can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Add your favorite seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be tender, but not mushy.
- Serve the soup immediately. Potato soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with chopped parsley, chives, or bacon bits.
