Recipe for Cawl (Soup) cos I have a bad head cold

but since I have a bad head cold today, I'm giving you my recipe for Cawl, which is a bacon and leek soup from Wales

8oz slab bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 small leeks
3 medium parsnips, peeled chopped
1 small turnip peeled chopped
2 russet potatoes peeled chopped
1 large onion chopped
1 bay leaf
1 32oz carton beef broth
1 32oz carton chicken broth
1/2 of a small head of green cabbage chopped, (4 cups)

cook bacon in large saucepan until fat is rendered, set bacon aside.

cut green tops off of leek, halve white leek down the middle, then cut crosswise, and rinse under water, this is because sand can get in between layers and you want it all out.

Place leeks, parsnips, potatoes, onions, turnip and bay leaf into the large saucepan you cooked the bacon in on medium heat, stirring constantly, about 15 min, then add beef and chicken broth and cabbage and bring to a boil.

reduce heat and simmer for 20 min.

put bacon back into pot and cook 10 min longer, season with salt and pepper.
