Spinach and Potato Puree

So I got one of those nifty little immersion blenders for Christmas and it was perfect for making this soup. I pureed boiled potatoes with sauteed spinach and garlic before topping with crunchy bacon and creamy goat cheese crumbles. If you are looking for a truly comforting soup this is it.
