Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 lb center-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 1/2 cups green cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground
4 cups vegetable broth, see note below
2 cups potatoes, diced
1 cup carrot, sliced thin
2 teaspoons fresh basil, finely snipped

Steps:

Fry bacon until crispy around the edges. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Reserve 1 tsp of the bacon fat, and use to saute the onion, shredded cabbage, bell peppers, and black pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add the sauteed onion, cabbage and bell pepper mixture, along with the potatoes and carrots. Reduce heat, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
Using a slotted spoon, remove about 1 cup of cooked vegetables and set aside.
Use a stick blender (or a food processor) to blend the remaining mixture until smooth.
Stir the reserved cooked vegetables, basil and cooked bacon into the puree. (You may wish to save a bit of bacon for garnish) Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
Garnish with reserved cooked bacon, if desired.
Note: Depending on the variety of potato you use, you may need to add additional broth to thin the soup.

Choose Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
Cook the Bacon Until Crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. Cook it over medium heat until it is browned and crispy.
Add the Vegetables in Stages: Add the vegetables to the soup in stages, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook. This will help to ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked evenly.
Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for a bit of brightness.
Let the Soup Simmer: Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
