Cook on low for another 2 hours.
Let the soup cool down a bit and then blend using a hand blender.
Pour the soup in serving bowls.

Notes

If you want to make the soup vegetarian, don’t add bacon. The rest of the recipe is the same.

You can also use cornstarch in place of flour to thicken the soup

The soup thickens with time, once it cools.

Add more water, broth, or milk while heating to get the desired consistency and bring to boil.

You can mash the potatoes using a potato masher instead of blending the soup using the immersion blender.

Use fresh garlic to get the best flavor.
