Sweet Potato and Broccoli Soup

This is one of those spur of the moment 'hey, what's left in the fridge' sort of dishes. So let's get right to it:

1 Sweet Potato, Cubed
1/2 Red Onion, Chopped
1 Head of Broccoli, stems chopped off completely
3 Cups Water
3 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
1 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 cup chopped chives
3 slices of bacon

Cook the onions in a little oil (I actually just used the grease from the bacon), toss the potatoes in until their coated, then add the next four ingredients and cook until the potatoes are soft. Toss in the herbs, and it it with an immersion blender until it gets to a consistency you like. Top with more chives and bacon.
