Pork and Bacon Soup

Stir-fried diced portions of pork loin and smoked bacon, cooked until golden brown. Added two chopped red onions and four medium sized carrots, plus a stick of celery.

Stir-fry for eight minutes or so, and add boiling water. Cook under glass for half an hour, then mash the vegetables. Add vegetable stock, and the herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano).

Simmer for another half hour to forty five minutes before serving with panini or potato bread.
