1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
550g floury potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1l chicken or vegetable stock

Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to a food processor and chop.
Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large saucepan.
Tip in the vegetables and potatoes, season well, then lower the heat and cover the pan.
Gently cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften, then add the stock, increase the heat and bring to the boil.
Simmer for 5 mins more, or until all the vegetables are tender.
While the soup is cooking, grill the bacon until crisp, then cut into thin strips.
