I N S T R U C T I O N S :
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the Herbes de Provence Olive Oil, onion, and leeks. Saute until translucent, about 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful not to let brown, reducing heat if necessary.
Add the potatoes, Bacon Salt, pepper, and Fines Herbs. Toss to coat.
Pour the vegetable broth in, and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium-low, cover, and let cook for 20 minutes until potatoes are fork tender. Remove from heat.
Transfer half the soup to a blender. Pulse until smooth, and return to the pot.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the half & half and the starch. Stir it into the soup, along with the Premium White Balsamic. Reheat on low for 5 minutes.
Serve garnished with the chopped bacon and chives.
