8 strips top quality bacon (we like Nueske's)
1 pound pound fresh celery stalks with leaves
1 medium white onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
Fine sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 medium Russet (or other starchy) potato
1 quart light chicken or vegetable stock
A dash of Louisiana hot sauce

1
Cut celery into even-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick, depending on diameter. This will help the celery to cook evenly. Peel the potato and cut it into pieces about the same size as the celery.
2
In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, fry the bacon until it is crisp. Drain and set aside. Keep 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pot and save the remainder for another use.
3
Add the onion, garlic and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is slightly translucent, stirring more or less continuously. Add sea salt and white pepper.
4
Add the wine and cook until the wine has reduced by about half.
5
Add the stock and the potato. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the celery and potatoes are soft enough that they can easily be pierced with a knife. Don't let them get mushy, though.
6
Remove from heat and puree with a stick blender. Add hot sauce. Bring to a simmer again, adding more stock to adjust the thickness if necessary
7
Crumble the bacon generously over each bowl of soup before serving piping hot.
