Instructions

1. Chop bacon roughly and cook in a large saucepan over medium heat.

2. While bacon is cooking, peel and chop onion and add to the pot with sea salt, stirring a few times.

3. Peel, chop, and add parsnip, carrot, garlic, and celery, one at a time, stirring in between each addition.

4. Sauté the mixture about 10 minutes. Remove a small amount of the cooked bacon and set aside to use as a garnish, if you'd like.
