Method
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium‑high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the diced bacon and continue sautéing for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp.
Stir in the paprika and cook for 1 minute to release its flavor.
Sprinkle in the cornstarch and stir until no white specks remain, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve hot, or store in an airtight container and re‑heat before serving.
