Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1/2 medium-sized onion, chopped
- 60 g diced bacon, precooked
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp group nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cut in bite-sized chunks
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- water to cover
- 1 chicken flavour bouillon cube or 1 tsp bouillon paste
- 2 tsp fresh parsley, minced or about 3/4 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 can evaporated milk (180 ml)
- extra salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the onions with a bit of olive oil until tender. Toss in the bacon and add the ground mustard, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and cook until fragrant.
- Add in the chopped potato and carrots and slowly pour enough water to slightly cover the vegetables. Stir in the bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, and salt. Simmer for 30 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are soft and the flavours start coming together.
- After simmering, add in the evaporated milk. You can add in more or less depending on how rich you would like your soup to be. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot and enjoy!
