Creamy Bacon Soup (Puréed)

A versatile soup for a family lunch! A very tasty, light, and filling soup for an everyday menu. I make it pretty often because my kids love it — and that's because they can't find any cooked onion or carrot in it, even though they really enjoy the flavor. Give it a try!

  • Start by prepping the vegetables: peel and rinse the onion, carrot, garlic, and potatoes. Bring the water to a boil in a small pot and add the cut potatoes. There's no need to cut them as finely as you would for a regular soup, since you'll be blending everything later — just cut them into pieces and drop them into the boiling water. Cook until tender. Chop the onion and grate the carrot, then sauté them in a hot skillet with a little vegetable oil. When the potatoes are done, put them, water and all, into a blender. Add the sautéed onion and carrot, a few garlic cloves, and salt and spices to taste (a little ground black pepper is nice too). Cover and blend for a couple of minutes until everything is smooth. Pour it all back into the pot, add a little cream, stir, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into pieces about 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) wide — not too big, since smaller pieces are easier to eat in soup. Heat a skillet until hot, add the bacon, and fry for a couple of minutes on each side. No oil needed — bacon is fatty enough and renders its own. Ladle the soup into bowls and scatter a little fried bacon in the center of each. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if you like, and serve hot. Enjoy! I often add other vegetables to this soup too — zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes — and for something heartier, a little cooked pork or poultry.
