Recipe: Yummy Potato and Bacon Soup

I've been pretty lazy in the kitchen lately but with the possibility of eating way too many takeouts as soon as Baby arrives, I decided to get stuck in and try out a new recipe. And trust me, this Potato and Bacon Soup was more then worth getting off my 9 month pregnant butt to make!

• Set oven to 375*F
• Peel and roughly chop potatoes and onions
• Place the garlic, potatoes and onions in a bowl and coat with oil and toss with enough paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30-45mins

• After the vegetables have finished roasting, put the chicken stock in a large pot and bring to the boil.

• Add the roasted vegetables to the liquid, cover with a lid, turn to the lowest heat setting and allow to simmer for 1 hour.

• Blend the mixture until smooth with an immersion blender (if you have one) or in batches using your blender.

• chop the bacon into small bits and fry until crispy
• mix the bacon into the soup

• Pour soup into serving bowls, sprinkle on cheddar cheese and add a teaspoon of sour cream on top.
• Stir the cheese and sour cream into the soup before eating

ENJOY!
