Cut the strips of bacon into half-inch pieces; add them to the pot and, over medium heat, cook until well browned; Use a metal slotted spoon to remove the cooked bacon from the pot; set aside.
Remove all but two tablespoons of the bacon grease and place the pot back on the burner.

Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low.

Turn off the heat and add the fresh chopped parsley.
Stir well; garnish with more bacon pieces and fresh parsley; serve.
