Chunky Leek, Potato & Smoked Bacon Soup
Method
Sauté Base: Sauté the bacon lardons in a skillet over medium heat for 4–5 minutes until crispy, then transfer the bacon and rendered fat directly into the soup maker jug.
Layer Jug: Add the diced potatoes, sliced leeks, onion, garlic, and dried thyme, placing the denser potatoes at the bottom.
Add Stock: Pour over the chicken stock up to the fill line, season with black pepper, and secure the lid tightly.
Run Appliance: Select the Chunky setting (28 minutes); once complete, season to taste, ladle into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Cooking Hack: To ensure optimal gut-friendly digestion and prevent your soup maker from triggering a scorch sensor, always pour the liquid stock into the jug before adding starchy potatoes or thick seasonings.
