  • In large dutch oven cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon leaving about 2 tablespoons grease in ban. Add onion, leeks and garlic and saute until tender, about 5 min. Add stock and yams. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 min. Add chicken, bacon, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat let simmer for 10 minutes longer.
