Cook Brussels Sprouts with Bacon as per packet instructions.

Cook the bacon lardons in a large soup pot, until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels to drain.

Leave about 3 tbsp of bacon fat in the pan and add the shallots. Saute them for about 5 minutes, until soft. Don’t let them brown.

Add the chicken stock and sprouts to the pan, bring up to simmer. Cook gently for about 5 minutes.

Working in batches, puree the soup. Return to the pot.

Add the cream and reheat to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, add cheese and stir until melted.

Serve immediately with a good helping of crispy bacon in the centre.
