In a large stock pot, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Remove all but 2 tbl of the bacon fat from the pan.
In the same pan, add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then add the celery and carrots. Sauté for a bout 5 minutes. Add the parsley and half the salt & pepper. Add about 1 cup of water and cook for another minute or two. Add the potatoes and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes (or until potatoes are done to your liking).
In a small saucepan, heat butter and then add the flour. Cook flour for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup of milk at a time, whisking with each addition. Continue cooking on medium heat until bubbly. Cook for another minute.
Whisk in the cream mixture to the soup. Cook for a couple minutes to bring it all together. Remove from heat. Serve topped with crispy crumbled bacon.
