1 recipe - 6 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons butter
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 recipe - 1/2 large onion, diced small
1 recipe - 20 baby carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 teaspoons (divided) kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons (divided) freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 dash ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Place bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Pour out bacon grease.
  • Melt butter in the saucepan over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan with a flat-edged wooden spoon. Add celery, onion, carrots, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Pour half-and-half and chicken broth into the saucepan. Add potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in bacon pieces. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  • Ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with 1/2 teaspoon pepper, green onions, and paprika.
