Potato, Bacon and Onion Soup

Winter is long gone here, but I still enjoy a warm bowl of soup. Readers in the Northern Hemisphere will appreciate this recipe that I created today:

Potato, Bacon and Onion Soup

Ingredients:

4-6 large potatoes, quartered
1 large onion, sliced or diced
125g bacon, diced
up to 500mL milk
salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

In a large saucepan, boil potatoes in water until tender (about 30mins).

During this time, fry bacon in a small frying pan until cooked through. Fry onion until clear (I used sliced onion to make the soup more interesting; you could dice the onion if desired).

When potatoes are cooked, drain well and return to pot. Mash potatoes thoroughly, or blend in a food processor if you want a smoother consistency.

Gradually add milk until you have the desired consistency. Turn on the heat, add bacon and onion, and stir until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Enjoy!
