Add finely chopped onion to the pot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Incorporate sliced carrot and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
03 -
Stir in diced potatoes and chopped cabbage. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.
04 -
Pour in chicken stock and add the bay leaf. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes until potatoes and cabbage are tender.

Return cooked bacon to the pot and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.
# Extra Suggestions:
