800g onions
400g potatoes (washed not peeled) and cubed
1 stock cube
garlic, salt and pepper
chilli/garam if you fancy!
60g bacon cut into titchy pieces and fried with the onion

Method

Chop the onion and bacon with about 1tsp of garlic powder and fry them up then cube the potatoes (about 1cm cubed) and fry them for a few minutes, sprinkling over the stock cube.

Then, after about 5 mins cooking pour in 1.8 litres of hot water from the kettle, sprinkled in some salt and pepper and cover and cook until the veg are soft.

Whizz up with a stick blender. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve. You can add more water if your soup is too thick.
