INSTRUCTIONS
Cook whole bacon strips slowly over low heat in a large soup pot until
almost all fat is rendered out, or omit bacon and melt butter. Add
diced onion, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until
soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, bay leaves and potato and
simmer 20 minutes or until potato slices are soft. Meanwhile, finely
chop chayote in a food processor. Remove and discard bay leaves and
bacon and add chopped chayote. Bring to a boil, return to a simmer,
and cook, uncovered, until the chayote is soft, about 15 minutes.
Puree in a blender until smooth. Strain back into pot, pressing with
a ladle to extract all juices. Add cream or half-and-half. Bring to a
boil and remove from heat. Serve immediately with lime wedges. This
recipe yields 6 servings.
