Smokey Spicy Bacon and Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

250g carrots, peeled and chopped

200g turnips, peeled and chopped

80g celery

20g parsley

50g leek

2 tsp cayenne pepper

2 TBS paprika

1 liter broth (or water if you don't have)

200g bacon, chopped

Salt to taste

2 TBS butter

Method:

In a pot, melt butter and add bacon and spices, frying until cooked through, then chopped vegetables.

Brown for 5 minutes, then add broth and salt.

Cook for 25 minutes on high heat stirring occasionally.

Using a stick blender, blend till desired consistency is reached. (I love it chunky, add more water if you need to).

Add chopped/crushed chillies to garnish.
