3 step Bacon and Vegetable soup image

A very easy but delicious soup, which uses more vegetables than the traditional Pea & Ham soup. I puree the soup before putting the meat back in, but its fine if you don't. In fact if you don't puree, you get to taste more of the individual vegetable flavours. If you like it meatier, just put in more bacon bones!

Steps:
