2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 slices bacon, cut in lardoons
water, enough to barely cover the veggies and bacon
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 can chicken broth
1 cup whole milk or cream
2 strips of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese
