A warming bowl of creamy soup with chunky potato. Try serving with Scandinavian-inspired prawns on toast (toast skagen).

1 tbs olive oil
30g unsalted butter
2 onions, chopped
4 bacon rashers, rind removed, chopped
2 tbs plain flour
1L (4 cups) Massel Chicken Style Liquid Stock
3 large desiree potatoes, peeled, chopped
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups (300g) light sour cream
2 tbs chopped dill

Method

1.

Heat oil and butter in a large frypan over medium heat. Add onion and bacon, and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until onion has softened but not coloured and bacon is cooked. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock, stirring until smooth. Add the potato and simmer for 8 minutes or until potato is just tender.
2.

Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sour cream in a bowl, adding a little of the hot soup to the mixture, until smooth.
3.

Add egg yolk mixture to the soup. Reduce heat to low and cook for a further 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Stir through dill. Divide among warm bowls and serve.
