German Potato Soup

Step 1

Fry the bacon then add the onion and cook until golden, 6-8 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook for another minute.  Add all remaining ingredients except for the parsley.  Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 30-40 minutes.

Step 2

Add the parsley and simmer for another minute.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Note: This is a great make-ahead soup as the flavor is even better the next day!
