Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups peeled and diced potatoes
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pot.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Using a blender or immersion blender, blend about half of the soup until smooth. This will create the white layer of the Irish Flag.
5. Return the blended soup to the pot and add the milk. Stir well to combine.
6. Add the chopped spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
