Courgette and Bacon Soup

The better the stock, the better the soup. If you make this with a great stock, you'll get away with serving it cold as a summer starter. Honest!

Ingredients

• 2 rashers smoked streaky bacon, diced
• 1 large courgette, diced
• 1 medium potato, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 pints chicken stock
• 75ml white wine
• 1 tsp salt

Fry the onion in a little olive oil, adding the bacon once the onion has softened. Once the bacon has coloured, add the potato and stir fry to combine, then turn the heat to low and cover to steam for five minutes. Add the courgette, stirring it in thoroughly and cook for a further five minutes, then add the white wine and the stock. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, season by adding the salt to taste and a good amount of pepper then leave aside, covered, to cool. Blend, strain and serve.
