Turnip & Bacon Soup

Six ingredients. One pot. The kind of soup that’s been warming kitchens for generations.

Bacon fries up with onions until the kitchen fills with that smoky, savory smell that brings everyone running. Chopped turnips and potatoes go in with stock and simmer gently until everything is soft and yielding.

That’s it. No fuss, no frills, just honest, belly-warming soup that proves simple cooking is often the best cooking.

Pro Tips

• Leave the soup chunky for a rustic bowl, or blend half for a creamier texture
• Use a good homemade stock for the deepest flavor since there are so few ingredients
• Fry the bacon until properly crisp so it adds texture to the finished soup
• A grind of black pepper and a hunk of crusty bread are all you need on the side
