My original recipe, adapted and improved upon from one I found online.
In a large pot, boil potatoes in chicken broth until tender.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown bacon pieces. Remove bacon and drain, reserving about 3 Tablespoons bacon fat. In the same pan, add sliced leeks and shallots to bacon fat and fry for about 7-8 minutes until tender.
When potatoes are done, add bacon, shallots and leeks and stir to combine. Add cream, cheese and salt and pepper and stir to combine. Continue to cook on very low heat for 10-15 minutes or until soup is desired thickness.
Serve hot and store leftovers in refrigerator.
