Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Season the Soup:
Stir in the cooked bacon and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
5. Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with crusty bread or soda bread for a complete meal.
Tips:
Add Protein: For a heartier option, include cooked sausage or ham in addition to the bacon.
Creamy Option: Add 1 cup of heavy cream or milk for a richer texture.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
