Directions:
- Cook the bacon in an 8- to 10-quart stockpot over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon, drain on a paper towel, and set aside.
- Discard the bacon fat; return the pot to the heat and melt the butter.
- Add in the onion and leeks; cook/stir, until tender but not brown, 3-5 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
- Slowly add the bay leaf and chicken broth, whisking constantly.
- Cook until thickened.
- Add the potatoes and cooked bacon; bring to a simmer; simmer until the potatoes are tender, 25-30 minutes, stirring often from the bottom to prevent the soup from sticking and burning.
- Add the cream and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat; remove and discard the bay leaf; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve in individual bowls garnished with parsley.
