Cock-a-Leekie soup

1 small chicken
8 soaked prunes (stones removed and saved)
100 g bacon (diced)
500 g leeks (washed and thinly sliced)
2 l water
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon
salt and pepper


Method:
Remove the skin from the chicken and place in a large pan, together with the bacon and prune stones.
Cover with water and bring to the boil. Keep covered and simmer for 2 hours.
Strain off the liquid, remove stones and roughly chop the chicken.
Add the chopped chicken, leeks, tarragon, salt and pepper to the liquid and bring to the boil.
Simmer for 20 minutes.
Add prunes at the end of cooking time and serve.

Yikes! I've never had this, but it seems simple enough.

Cheers...
