Instructions

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning once, until the fat has rendered and the slices are crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the rendered fat and reserve the skillet.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
