This is truly a fantastic soup - and so fast! I love the taste of fresh thyme so admit to adding more, I'm always making it!

I made this soup but as I didnt have much bacon I added a smoked bacon bone. The flavour was sensational and I will certainly make it again. So easy for a cold winter night and quick. With the bacon bone there was a little meat so I just used a fork to break off ham ot add a bit more bulk. Serve with warm crusty bread.
