Delicious pieces of salty bacon add a meaty touch to this hearty thyme-infused soup.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon, onion, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the onion is soft.
- Add the stock and water to the pan. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the parsnip and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes or until parsnip is tender. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
- Place half the mixture in the jug of a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Ladle the soup among serving bowls and drizzle over the cream. Sprinkle with extra thyme and season with pepper. Serve with the toasted bread.
