Meat Recipe #16 – Bacon, Leek & Potato Soup

Growing your own veggies and herbs is great, and they certainly without fail always taste far superior to what you buy in the supermarkets. But of course, that then means you have to find a use for them when ready.

I like growing leeks as I always pass on a few to my sister, but I have limited recipes that actually use leeks (I sometimes get flummoxed by vegetables you can’t roast).  Out of the recipes I do have, this one is far and away the best, assisted largely by the fact it has a lot of pig in it.  So without further ado: Big Angry Trev’s Bacon, Leek & Potato Soup

 

Ingredients

  • 8 rashers of bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 leeks, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1.5L hot vegetable stock
  • 150ml thickened cream
  • Fresh parsley
  • Cracked pepper

 

Method

  • Chop up bacon, fry up half until crispy and put to one side
  • Put stock in pot, heat but do not bring to boil.
  • Chop up onion, sauté it with remaining bacon in butter until golden.
  • Add sliced leeks and diced potatoes to pan, cover and cook on very low heat for 5 minutes, shaking pan occasionally.
  • Take bacon & vegetables from pan and stock from pot and combine in large pot, bring to boil.
  • Simmer concoction for 20 minutes covered, stirring occasionally.
  • Let mix cool. Take mix and put in food blender.  Puree mix.
  • Pour mix back into warm pan, slowly add cream and stir until warm.
  • Put into bowls, top with fresh parsley, crispy bacon and cracked pepper.

Enjoy!

VOTE FOR THE GREATEST 100 SONGS OF ALL TIME!

Every year various radio stations do their ‘Top 100’.  Triple J has their ‘Hottest 100’, Triple M has their ‘Best 100’ and so on.  But these only cover the preceding 12 months – yawn – and frankly, a lot of crap songs make their way into the playlists.

On The Big DJ Trev Show  at Krrfm we think bigger.  MUCH BIGGER.  The best 100 songs of the last year?  Pfff…. small potatoes.  On The Big DJ Trev Show we are doing the ‘GREATEST 100 OF ALL TIME!’

Video’s: Flooding of Rylstone Showground & Cudgegong River

For the second time in a year the Cudgegong River in Rylstone has flooded,  it being just less than a year since it last flooded.

Initial reports said the the Dunn Swamp Dam had burst its banks, though this was downgraded to it simply overflowing.  However this overflow, combined with extremely heavy rains over the last several days, has caused the Cudgegong River to swell and overflow, becoming a roaring torrent rather than its usual sedate self.

To show how much more rain there had been compared to the last flooding, this time the Rylstone Showgrounds also flooded, one of the ovals becoming completely submerged and resembling more of a lake than a place to play football.

Find below two videos – one of the Cudgegong River itself taken from the John Hawkins Bridge, and the other of the Rylstone Showgrounds themselves.

And of course you can click the link below to compare the above videos to the flooding we experienced in March 2021.  Who knows what will happen in March of 2023 – may be time to start investing in some sandbags.
