Ingredients
| 1 kg | potatoes |
| 4 slice(s) | bacon |
| 400 ml | chicken broth |
| 60 ml | white wine |
| 30 g | flour |
| 50 g | Cheddar cheese, grated |
| 25 tsp | cumin, ground |
| 25 tsp | dried thyme, crushed |
| some | salt and freshly ground pepper to taste |
| 400 ml | water |
| 1 tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 large | onion(s), finely chopped |
Instructions
Peel potatoes and cut into small cubes.
Cut the bacon into 2 cm pieces. Put bacon into a large soup pot and fry over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on kitchen paper towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon fat from the pan.
Heat the olive oil in the pan and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Put the flour into a bowl and whisk in about 120 ml of the water. Then pour the water-flour mixture into the pan. Add the cumin, thyme, salt and pepper and let simmer for 2 minutes. Add the remaining water, potatoes, broth and wine and bring to a boil. After the soup has boiled reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered for about 25 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking.
Remove pan from the heat. Take a spoon and lightly crush some of the potatoes lightly. Add the cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the bacon and serve.
