IRISH BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP
This is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green colour of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful colour.

BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP
This is a very yummy soup! It's great for a cold weather warm-you-up, delecious as s meal beginner, or wonderful as a one pot meal! I sometimes use regular bacon in place of the Canadian bacon just to change it up sometimes. I forgot to measure how much soup I got but I know I froze several quarts. The amount will be a "guestimation".

Tips:
- Use bacon with a good amount of fat: This will help to flavor the soup and make it more hearty.
- Don't crowd the pot when browning the bacon: This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly and make it more likely to stick to the pot.
- Use a large pot: This will give the soup plenty of room to simmer and prevent it from boiling over.
- Don't overcook the cabbage: You want the cabbage to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings as desired.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
