Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb bacon (3-4 slices), cut into pieces 3-4 inches long
  • 2-3 leeks, chopped
  • 2-3 large potatoes, cubed
  • 1 quart vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  • Heat your soup pot and cook the bacon. When the bacon is cooked, set aside the pieces to drain and crisp up. Sautee the leeks in the bacon fat for 3-4 minutes until they are soft and have soaked the fat up. Add the potatoes and cover with stock. Simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender or work in batches in your blender to puree the soup. Serve hot with crumbled bacon.
