I have been eating BLT Soup at a beautiful bistro-style restaurant in a town not too far from our home for many years. I order it there without fail every time we visit. It sounded so strange to me before trying it there for the first time.
Who puts iceberg lettuce in soup? (They do. And, it rocks.) I spent quite a bit of time researching online various BLT Soup recipes recently, then followed that by testing some of the recipes that I came across. Through trial and error, I believe that I have arrived at the ultimate BLT Soup recipe.
When you dig into this soup, you really do feel like you are eating a BLT sandwich, but in soup form. (Does that make sense?) All the flavors are there. Crusty bread on the side for dipping is highly recommended, but the soup is great on its own, as well. It is comfort food times a million. Think of the marriage of a BLT Sandwich to Creamy Potato Soup.
Indulgent. And, so totally worth every bite.
Yields 4 - 6 servings.
