Made a variation of your soup this weekend. Basically the only difference was no butter.
I started with 1# thick bacon chopped in 1/4" strips, browned and reserved. Then sweated the aromatics, and then flour for very blonde roux, then potatoes and water, then finished with cream and bacon. Oh and I did use a little better than bouillon in it.
You should try it this way too.

Personal opinion here. If your lipids are high, you will not bring them down into acceptable levels with just diet and exercise. Most doctors are willing to let you try doing it that way for 3-6 months, but they already know what the outcome will be. They let you try it your way (diet and exercise) to get you to buy into their program (drugs they know will work.
High cholesterol and triglycerides are about as often due to genetics as they are diet. However, statins are very effective in lowering them. I wonder if any drugs (ever) have made the impact on overall health that statins have.
You do know that the long term downside of high cholesterol is heart vein blockage (stints or bypass or death from heart failure). Some get Carotid artery blockage, which has it's own set of problems, since that artery feeds the brain.
Bla, Bla, Bla …

Sure you will, the problem is people don't do the diet or exercise even if they say they do.

I'll stick with my opinion that if it is genetic, diet and exercise won't get you there, not with the long term commitment most folks have. they might for weeks or months, but not forever.
I understand you could do it. We aren't talking about you, Mingo.

Well your "opinion" is correct, but for an overwhelming majority it's not genetic. It's shoving carbs down ones gullet at an alarming rate

So, for some/many/few/whatever it is genetic. For the rest of the many who have high cholesterol it is bad habits developed over years of self centered living the high life with little regard for living a healthy life.
And you are telling me these people have the inner strength to walk away from a lifetime of bad habits.
As I said, such a thing is no big deal for you and I commend you for your self control.
For everyone else, I will stick to my original statement. Some of them might walk the straight, stern pathway of turning away from everything they have enjoyed as excess for years and years and faithfully avoiding those foods when all of their friends are scarfing down prime fillets or wagyu and kobe prime rib with buttered buns.
Then they will go out and walk a mile or three four nights a week while everyone else is on the sofa with a six pack of Nattty Light watching 3rd Rock From the Sun reruns.
I'll just stick with my opinion that Statin drugs are extremely effective for lipid control and a blessing for those who need them. I agree that our friend with high lipids should try to eat healthy and exercise the hell into healthy lipid levels, but after 6 months of failure, he needs to buy into Statin control of his cholesterol, so that he won't die from coronary disease. I see that 610,000 people a year in the US die of his problem (1 in 4).
I know you are right and that you lead a pristine lifestyle. I'm trying to help a guy who is a candidate for coronary artery disease. Let me do that.
1 of every 4 deaths are people who, like I said either have genetic links to high cholesterol or a bad lifestyle they refuse to walk away from and quit.
I bid you peace, Mingo.
