BLT Soup

Healthy Fact of the Day

Use turkey bacon and light cream to cut fat, and add spinach or kale for extra vitamins. Serve with whole grain bread for a more balanced meal.

This BLT Soup takes the iconic sandwich and transforms it into a warm, comforting bowl of pure satisfaction. Crispy bacon brings smoky richness while sweet tomatoes and tender lettuce simmer in a creamy broth enhanced with garlic and onion for layers of flavor. It’s an inventive twist on a classic favorite that proves sometimes the best comfort food comes from reimagining what we already love.

If you love creative takes on classic flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Loaded Baked Potato Casserole for another comfort food transformation. For more hearty, bacon-forward dishes, try our Smoked Gouda Bacon Dip or Loaded Potato Soup—both deliver that same smoky, satisfying richness that makes this soup so irresistible.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Happy 4th of July — America Turns 250 Today and Restaurants Are Celebrating With You

    Fourth of July celebrations are built around food, and that’s one of the best things about them. A few easy ways to keep things balanced at any cookout or restaurant outing today: start with water before reaching for a sugary drink or cocktail, load your plate with grilled proteins and vegetable sides before hitting the chips and desserts, and if you’re taking advantage of multiple restaurant deals this weekend, space them out rather than stacking them in one day. The Whole Foods 50% off frozen treats deal through July 7 is worth bookmarking for a lighter, fruit-based dessert option — grab a pint of something like Van Leeuwen or So Delicious for the freezer and enjoy it throughout the week.

    The Grill as Teacher: What Fire Reveals About Cooking

    Grilling vegetables over direct heat increases the bioavailability of certain antioxidants by breaking down cell walls and making their contents more accessible — while the brief, high-heat cooking minimizes the loss of water-soluble vitamins that longer, lower-temperature cooking methods produce. The char that develops on grilled vegetables, while containing small amounts of heterocyclic compounds, also contains significant concentrations of beneficial phytonutrients produced by the caramelization of plant sugars. Marinating proteins before grilling — particularly with acidic marinades containing lemon juice or vinegar — has been shown to significantly reduce the formation of potentially harmful compounds produced when fat drips onto hot coals, making the marinated and grilled preparation one of the more nutritionally sound applications of high-heat cooking.

    Smoked Cream Cheese Is the Easiest Thing You’ll Make This July 4th

    Cream cheese is rich, so a little goes a long way — which actually works in your favor here. Serving it as a dip rather than a spread naturally limits portion size, and loading the board around it with fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, celery, and bell pepper strips gives guests a lighter vehicle than crackers alone. If you want to lighten the base, swapping in a block of Neufchâtel cheese — which is widely available and nearly identical in texture — cuts the fat content by about a third without changing the final result in any noticeable way.
