Bacon-cauliflower soup

The Legal/Illegal list says: "Smoked bacon that has been fried very crisply is allowed once per week. There are sugar-free bacons available and if you are able to find a source of sugar-free bacon, you do not have to limit your consumption to once per week. Usually the low sodium varieties do not contain sugar but check the labels carefully."

Ingredients
2 strips of legal bacon
1 medium sized onion, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 head of cauliflower, cut into 1" flowerettes
4 cups of chicken stock (if using homemade, chicken in it makes it better)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Fry the bacon until crisp. Set bacon aside and fry onions and celery in the bacon grease until browned. Add some water to the pan to dissolve the cooked on juices and add water, onions, and celery to a large soup pot, along with the remaining ingredients. Chop the bacon and add that too.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and cook, covered for 30 min. or until cauliflower and carrots are tender.
