Step 1
In a large pot, cook the 4 slices bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside. Leave 1 tbsp bacon fat in the pot.
Step 2
Add the 1 chopped onion to the pot and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the 1.5 pounds peeled and diced potatoes and 3 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the 0.5 cup heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Heat through for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and 0.25 cup chopped walnuts. Serve hot.
