  • 5 strips bacon uncooked
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 3 large carrots diced
  • 3 celery stalks diced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce I used Baby Ray’s Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning

  • ¼ cup flour
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  • Prepare the vegetables. Finely dice the carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cube the potatoes into quarter inch pieces.
  • In a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, fry the bacon. Once cooked, remove the bacon but leave about two tablespoons of bacon grease in the pot.
  • Add the carrots, celery and onion to the pot and saute for about 5 minutes or until slightly tender. Then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Mix in the hot sauce and all spices (italian seasoning, pepper, mustard powder, paprika and red pepper flakes).
  • Add the flour to the pot and cook for an additional minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, add the potatoes and chicken. Cover and simmer for 20 - 25 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Lastly, chop the bacon and add it back into the pot (leaving some for topping), pour in the heavy cream and fold in the cheese (also leaving some for topping).
  • Serve, top with bacon, cheese and/or green onions. Enjoy!
