bacon | Chef Doru's Blog

I don’t know if it’s because of the winter or is just me, but I decided to go for another soup. This time I choose a soup from one of the blogs I follow and admire, Sara Makes Soup. I change few things in the recipe since all my family is on some sort of diet. My ingredients are as follows:

2 tbsp bacon bits
1/2 red onion, diced
3 green onions, diced
1 giant round garlic clove, minced
4 stalks celery, diced
1 parsley root
3 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
1/3 cup dry white wine
1.5 L Chicken Stock
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1″ cubes
1 sweet potato, chopped into 1″ cubes
1 sprig of thyme, washed
1 cup of 2% milk
meat from 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into cubs
salt and pepper to taste
some parsley, chopped.

From time to time, maybe not often enough, I have to visit Chef John blog and try another incredible recipe from his repertoire. This time, I chose the Cajun Chicken Ragu and the results were amazing. For the pulled chicken meat I used some Cajun chicken breast perfectly done on the BBQ and for sausages I used a combination of: home-made Hungarian, home-made Romanian and some Hot Chorizo but you can use any type of sausage you like.
