Instructions

Cut the bacon rashes into cubes, and cook in a large cooking pan until golden brown or the desired colour.
Remove the bacon from the pan, and in the same pan add the washed and chopped leek and peeled and chopped onion.
Add some oil if necessary in case there is not enough fat left from the bacon, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the peeled and chopped potatoes and garlic, then pour over the stock.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Add the cream, then blend the soup to a creamy texture.
Garnish with the cooked bacon bits and fresh parsley.
