Bacon And Potato Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, chopped coarsely
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 1/4 lbs potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add the bacon and garlic and stir with a wooden spoon until the bacon is crisp.
Add 2 cups water, potato and stock. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for about 10 mins or until the potato is tender.
Add the sour cream to the soup and stir until the cream is just heated through (do not let it boil or the soup may curdle). Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley.
