Ingredients
1tbsp olive oil
4 slices good-quality bacon
1 onion, chopped
5 carrots, chopped
180ml organic milk
125ml cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
Method
- Heat olive oil in a pan over a medium heat, then cook the bacon until golden. Set the bacon aside and chop it up.
- Add onion and garlic to the pan, then cook until soft and translucent.
- Add the carrots and stir well, coating them in the oil.
- Add the bone broth, then stir. Cover with lid, and simmer on a medium-low heat for about 20 - 25 minutes until the carrot is very soft.
- Remove the lid and puree the carrot with a stick blender, then add cream, milk, salt and pepper to taste. Stir, and add more milk to thin the soup if you wish.
- Top with bacon and garnish. We use sunflower seeds for a lovely crunchy bite.
