Steps to make Carrot and Bacon Soup

  1. In a large pan, heat the oil before adding the bacon and frying until golden and slightly crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Once cooled, roughly chop.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and fry in the leftover bacon fat until translucent and soft.
  3. Add the carrots and toss in the oil until coated. Pour in the broth and stir together.
  4. Add a lid to the pot, bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 20 – 25 minutes until the carrot is falling-apart soft.
  5. Take the pot off the heat and use a stick blender to blend the soup, or transfer to a standing blender if you prefer.
  6. Pour in the cream and milk and adjust the seasoning to taste.
  7. Divide the soup between bowls and top with a drizzle of cream, handful of the chopped bacon and parsley. Serve with a chunk of crusty bread.
