6 cups chicken broth
6 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed

In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserve 1 tablespoon of drippings. Set bacon aside. Saute onion and garlic in the drippings until tender. Stir in flour, salt, basil, and pepper; mix well. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, cream, sour cream and hot sauce; heat through but do not boil. Cook until potatoes are tender about 20 minutes or so. Garnish with bacon and cheese. Serves 8
