- Add all of the prepped elements of the soup into the slow cooker, reserving half of the bacon. Pour the stock into the slow cooker and stir. Place the rosemary into the pot to infuse, no need to use string to tie the rosemary together, you can use some tongs to remove at the end. Pop the lid on your slow cooker and set the cooking setting to high, set your timer/alarm to 5 hours.
- When the 5 hours is almost up, fry the reserved bacon with a tbsp of olive oil until crispy.
- Now that the timer for the soup has gone off season with salt and pepper and top with the crispy bacon.
