Ingredients
• 6 slices bacon
• Olive oil, as needed
• ½ cup chopped onions
• ½ cup chopped carrots
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• Salt to taste
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups potatoes, cubed
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions
Cook the bacon until crisp, remove and drain well on paper towels. Set bacon aside.
Add the olive oil to 3-quart saucepan and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery with salt until the onion is soft but not brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth, potatoes, and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Stir in cheese, heating just until melted; do not boil.
Chop the bacon, add to the soup and serve.
