On a Soup Roll 2

Okay, people in this house are on the brink of colds, so I took it as my mission to stop that nonsense in its tracks.

The Get Better Bacon Soup:

1 large red onion, large chop
4 large cloves of garlic, chopped
thumb of fresh ginger, chopped
olive oil to cover and saute

salt, pepper
sage
2 dried red chili's

add water and stock to taste

simmer it for a bit

chop 1/4 rasher of bacon and pop it in

simmer it for another bit

Serve with a beautiful sunflower shaped pull apart bread from L'Epicerie deli on the corner, along with a dish of olive oil for dipping, with 4 cloves of chopped garlic sunk to the bottom of it, salt and pepper. And Whitstable Ale, the get better beer.

Feeling better already!

Hi! Thanks for you comment...and I couldn't agree more! I have recently discovered something better than bacon. I know, seems impossible. Take a look at this link to a place in London that sells the most amazing spanish ham, cured in the mountains, fed acorns, the whole thing...
