2 slices of bacon, diced

1 onion, sliced

1 carrot, peeled and sliced

1 stalk of celery, chopped

1/2 head of green cabbage, finely sliced

salt and freshly ground black peppper

3 potatoes, well washed and chopped

6 cups chicken stock, water or half of each

1 bay leaf

1 sprig fresh thyme

Wash and chop all your ingredients. Place the bacon in a soup pot and turn the heat on to medium low. Allow the fat to render and the bacon to crisp, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes). Remove the bacon to a paper towel with a slotted spoon.

Add the onion, carrot and celery to the pot along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, stirring regularly. Add cabbage and cover for 3 minutes or until wilted by half. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are softened.

Remove the bay leaf and the thyme. Transfer 1/2 of the soup to a blender allow to cool until no longer steaming and blend until smooth. Transfer back to the pot, add the bacon and season to taste. Bring back to a simmer and serve hot.
