500g Mixed Carrot and Swede (for Mashing) - 50p from Tesco 200g Bacon Lardons - £1 from Tesco. 1l Water - Overpriced from BWWSL 2 veg stock cubes.
Boil the water, adding seasoning (salt, pepper, herbs, etc) and the crumbled stock cubes. Add the veg. Bring back to the boil, cover and simmer.
Preheat a small frying pan, lightly oil and add the lardons, cover and gently fry for 5 mins. Turn up the heat to full to boil off the excess water. Drain off the fat, and add the large and medium-sized lardons to the soup. Keep the small ones to one side.
Let the soup simmer for 1 hour. Blend the soup until a few veg chunks remain visible. Add the remaining bacon.
