Make It

COOK and stir bacon in large saucepan on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in pan. Drain bacon on paper towels.

ADD onions, garlic, paprika and bay leaf to drippings in pan; cook and stir 10 min. or until onions are tender. Add broth and potatoes; stir. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 10 min. or until potatoes are tender.

DISCARD bay leaf. Blend soup, in batches, in blender or food processor until smooth. Return soup to saucepan; stir in bacon. Serve topped with green onions.

Removing Garlic Odor

Need a solution for removing garlic odor from your hands? Try rubbing your hands across a piece of stainless steel under running water. Any piece of stainless steel will do - you can use a spoon, butter knife or even the kitchen sink! Another option is to sprinkle your hands with baking soda. Just rub your hands together, then rinse under running water.
