Chop up a pound of bacon and cook it until crispy.

Drain the bacon but keep 1/4 cup of bacon grease.

Toss in diced celery and an onion, cook until soft.

Add minced garlic and let it get fragrant for about 2 minutes.

Add peeled and cubed potatoes and stir.

Return the bacon and pour in enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes.

Simmer until the potatoes are tender, around 20 minutes.

In another pan, melt 3 tbsp of butter and whisk in 1/4 cup flour.

Slowly add in 1 cup of heavy cream, dried tarragon, and fresh cilantro, and cook until thickened.

Mix this creamy mixture into the potato pot and puree half the soup for a creamy texture.

Season with salt and pepper and serve topped with more bacon, green onions, or cheddar cheese.
