Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 8 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 to 1-1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (white portion only)
