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.
