Dutch Mustard Soup (Zaanse Mosterdsoep)

Chef Dudo's Note:

Never ate this before I came to The Netherlands. It is mostly served as a starter. Originally it is served with little bits of crispy baked bacon but since I do not eat bacon I can not vouch for how the soup tastes when you use it. It is delicious without bacon too!
