Cream of Vegetable Soup

Ingredients

• 4 cups mixed vegetables
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 stalks green onions
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, combine the 4 cups mixed vegetables and 2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   While the soup simmers, cook the 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.

3. 3

   Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the 1 cup heavy cream and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Simmer gently for 2 minutes until heated through, but do not boil.

   Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
