 Bacon soup is warm and inexpensive, but extremely tasty.

Ingredients:

• 200 g. (about 4 slices) bacon or pork fat, chopped into .5 cm. cubes
• 1 large onion
• 1.5 c. home made hominy or corn
• 1 parsnip or carrot, chopped and peeled
• 1 tsp dry parsley
• a good pinch of crushed hot paprika or red pepper, more if you like it spicy
• a dash of cracked, black pepper
• water (about 1.5 liters)
• gray salt or “vegetable condiment” to taste
• 1/8 cup parmesian cheese

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, fry the bacon to render its fat.
2. When the bacon is a little browned, but not dry, add the onion.
3. When the onion is almost a little clear, add the parsnip or carrot, and hominy.
4. Toss for a few seconds, then add the water, salt, and spices.
5. Turn the heat up to high, then cover to bring to a boil.
6. Then turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer for about an hour.
7. Add the parmesian cheese, and stir until it is melted.

Serve hot with your favorite bread, or rice.
