Instructions

In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
Brown the ground beef in the same pot until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Melt butter in the pot; sauté onions and celery for about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and flour, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then stir in heavy cream, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and return the beef to the pot. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer.
