Steps:
- In a medium pot, saute the bacon over medium heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Next, add the white onion and saute over medium heat until onions become translucent. Add the diced potatoes along with the olive oil and continue to saute for about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring frequently. When the potatoes begin to soften, add the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan (to deglaze).
- Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, checking on it every 5 minutes or so. Next, add the evaporated milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir so that ingredients are well mixed. At this time, you can use a hand held blender to puree the soup. If you don't have a hand held blender, use a food processor and pulse blend for a couple of minutes. You may add a bit more chicken stock if it seems too thick.
- When the soup is well blended and velvety, add back the bacon as well as the parsley and stir well. Simmer for a couple more minutes and then taste for proper seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted. Serve hot, adding some of the scallions for garnish and a small pad of butter. Serve with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy.

Tips:
- Use a variety of onions: Different types of onions offer different flavors, so feel free to mix and match. Yellow onions are a good all-purpose choice, while white onions are milder and sweeter. Red onions add a bit of sharpness.
- Caramelize your onions: This step is essential for developing a rich, flavorful soup. Be patient and let the onions cook slowly over low heat until they are deeply browned.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't be afraid to add some spice: A little bit of heat can really liven up the soup. Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of Sriracha sauce.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for onion soup. Some popular choices include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs.
