1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (1-1/2 teaspoons)

1/2 teaspoon dillweed

Instructions 

Cook the bacon in Dutch oven or soup kettle over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain all but 2 tablespoons fat. Crumble bacon; set aside.

Stir onion and garlic into bacon fat in pot. Cook and stir about 4 minutes or until tender. Add potatoes, broth, dillweed, salt, and pepper to pan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
