Directions

Follow these steps to create a delicious, comforting dish.

1. Step 1: Heat the stock in a large pot over medium heat, allowing it to come to a simmer.
2. Step 2: Stir in the cubed ham and 2 tablespoons of dried rosemary. Let the mixture simmer gently.
3. Step 3: In a separate large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it becomes crispy. Once crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to the pot with the stock. Discard half of the bacon grease, but reserve the remaining grease in the skillet.

6. Step 6: Once the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly.
