In a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon in oil until crisp; remove and drain on paper towels. Cool then crumble and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings. Sauté celery and onion along with diced red bell pepper in hot drippings 5 – 6 minutes or until tender. Whisk together stock and flour until smooth. Add to sautéed celery mixture.
