Start cooking bacon(or ham) until half cooked. Then add the onions, celery, carrots, potatoes and squash, and cook with bacon for 5 min or until lightly softened. Pour in enough of the chicken stock to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender. Using a hand blender, blend until smooth. Enjoy!
