1 tsp	salt

100 ml	sweet cream, optional

Instructions

In a sauce pan brown the bacon. Pour out most of the grease, leaving 1 to 2 tbsp. in the pot. Sauté all vegetables except potatoes for 5-8 minutes.

Add broth, potatoes and seasoning. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook for at least 30 minutes. With a sturdy whisk beat the soup until potatoes fall apart. Add sweet cream and heat up – do not bring to a boil. When serving sprinkle with chives or parsley.

Notes:
Dry texture potatoes are the best for this soup, it will make a thicker consistency, especially if you omit the sweet cream.

For meat lovers:
Use left-over baked ham (250g) instead of bacon, sauté with 1tbsp. of butter and follow the recipe from adding the vegetables.
