Step 1

Add a glug of olive oil to a large saucepan, add bacon and cook over a high heat until the bacon begins to brown and releases some of its fat into the pan. Add the onion and celery and cook for 3 - 4 minutes until the onion is soft and beginning to become translucent. Tumble in the potatoes followed immediately by the stock, bay leaves and thyme. You can season lightly with salt and pepper at this stage. When the soup begins to boil lower to a simmer and continue to cook stirring occasionally for 20 - 25 minutes until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.

Step 2

Allow to cool. slightly then blitz with a stick blender until you have a thick velvety soup. If soup becomes too thick you can add a little more hot stock to thin. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Ladle into bowls, for a little extra oomph drizzle with chilli oil and serve with crusty bread and butter.
