Dinner: Bacon soup. Yes, BACON Soup. I know that it's a little naughty, but it's Friday night, so what the heck. This was very delicious and even better than I imagined. Zack was skeptical, but ended up eating three bowls...recipe is as follows:

Ingredients

6 slices of bacon

One bunch of watercress (wash and separate leaves from stems, chop stems finely)

1/2 large red onion, finely chopped

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

4 cups of beef stock

Inner stalks of celery (with the leaves)

1 cup of sliced mushrooms

Avocado (optional)

Directions

Fry the bacon in a large, deep frying pan. Then remove the bacon, chop it up and set aside.

Use the bacon grease to saute the onion and garlic. When soft and slightly brown, add finely chopped watercress stems, beef stock and celery leaves.

Simmer for at least 30 minutes with a lid on.

Add watercress leaves, mushrooms and crumbled bacon.

Simmer for another 10 minutes.

Pluck out celery leaves and top with avocado. Enjoy!
