Country vegetable soup with smoked sausage and bacon

METHOD

How to make it

1. 01

   STEP 1

   Done

   Place the stock in a (soup) pan and add the bay leaves, a few sprigs of thyme and pepper. I cut the green stalks that were attached to the fennel in half and also added them to the stock. As I always say, taste the stock regularly to determine whether it is seasoned.

   Remove the bay leaves, thyme and green fennel stalks (if you also added these) from the stock.
