Step-by-step
- Chop the bacon into small pieces and add to a large soup pot. Fry until most of the fat has rendered down and the bacon is golden in colour.
- Add the onions and garlic, and cook them until softened and translucent.
- Add the rest of the prepared vegetables along with the bay leaves, thyme and white wine. Place on a tight fitting lid and allow the vegetables to steam for about 10 mins.
- Add the chicken stock - approx 2l but add a bit more if you feel the soup is not wet enough.
- Allow the soup to cook for a further 30 mins, seasoning to taste and either serve immediately or allow to cool and serve the next day.
