Sautéed Spanish onion and bacon combined with vegetable broth, diced potatoes, diced carrot, thinly sliced leek, celeriac, lovage, chopped fresh parsley, and fresh ground black pepper. Soup is pureed, and smoked sausage medallions are stirred in. Heated through until warm and served.

1 pound Potatoes
4 ounces Bacon
1/2 Spanish Onion

2. Remove the fat from the bacon and heat in a large pot.

Soup Making Tips -
Spanish Onion

Spanish onions are large, sweet onions with a very mild taste. They are wonderful for eating raw in dishes like salads and as a garnish for soups. The Spanish onion when sautéed turns a light brown color and caramelizes beautifully.


Soup Making Tips -
Stockpots
When choosing a stock pot that you can use to make soup stock, you will want to consider its size and shape. Choosing a stock pot that is 6 to 12 quarts will ensure that you can still use the pot for recipes other than soup. The pot should be tall and it should have a thick base to avoid burning.
