OLD-FASHIONED POTATO SOUP
This soup is closest to the soup I remember as child. I have seen many renditions of it surface in several bistros. It is easy and the method can be applied to broccoli or cauliflower.

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.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes: These varieties are best for potato soup because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Roast the potatoes before adding them to the soup: This step enhances their flavor and gives the soup a richer taste.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Add a variety of vegetables to the soup: This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and leeks.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender, but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of cream or milk for extra richness.
- Serve the soup hot: Potato soup is best served hot, with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or grated cheese on top.
