Ingredients

4 slices bacon
1 cup chopped carrot
½ cup chopped celery
½ medium onion, chopped
3 ½ cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons grated Asiago cheese

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Discard all but 2 teaspoons bacon drippings from the pan.
Add carrot, celery, and onion to the bacon drippings. Saute over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, bay leaf, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Add potatoes and remaining chicken broth; cook for 10 minutes. Add evaporated milk, increase heat to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve with crumbled bacon and grated Asiago cheese.
