Ingredients

~ 6 slices bacon
~  Olive oil, as needed
~  ½ cup chopped onions
~  ½ cup chopped carrots
~  1 stalk celery, chopped
~  Salt to taste
~  4 cups chicken broth
~  4 cups potatoes, cubed
~  1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
~  ½ cup grated cheddar cheese, optional

Directions

Cook the bacon until crisp, remove and drain well on paper towels. Set bacon aside.

Add the olive oil to 3-quart saucepan and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery with salt until the onion is soft but not brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the chicken broth, potatoes, and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Stir in cheese, heating just until melted; do not boil.

Chop the bacon, add to the soup and serve.
