In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of Irish butter over medium heat.

Add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup of chopped onion to the pot, cooking until tender and slightly browned.

Add 3 lbs of cubed russet potatoes to the pot.

Soak the potatoes in water before adding them to prevent oxidation.

Pour in 5 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Check potato tenderness by piercing with a sharp knife; it should go through easily.

Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or to your desired consistency.

Add 1 cup of whole milk to the blended soup, adjusting to taste for thickness.

Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 2.5 teaspoons of salt, adjusting to taste as needed.

Heat the soup through for another 5 minutes without boiling.

Serve hot, topped with chopped chives and crispy bacon.
