Put the soup meat and half of the bacon on a pan with enough water to cover the meat. Add the bay leaf and an onion. Simmer for about 1 hour (until the meat is tender). In the meantime, wash, peel, and finely chop the soup vegetables and potatoes. When the meat and bacon are tender, remove them from the pan. Add the vegetables and potatoes to the pot and cook until tender. Tear the meat and bacon into small pieces. When the vegetables are tender, lightly purée the soup and return the chopped meat to the soup. In a pan, fry the remaining bacon with the diced onion and mix into the soup. Serve with Vienna sausages, if desired.
