- Add the chicken broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil and boil until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Add the slighty warmed milk, bacon and white pepper. Bring nearly to a simmer and remove from the heat. Don't let the soup boil after adding the milk because it will break and produce a grainy soup.

Notes
Using 2% or lower milk will result in a thinner soup. You can use 2 cups of a lower percentage of milk and 2 cups of half and half if you would rather.
