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!

    Slowly caramelized onions retain more of their beneficial flavonoid antioxidants than onions cooked at high heat, and their natural prebiotic fibers become easier to digest during the long cooking process, supporting gut health while delivering the anti-inflammatory compound quercetin that may help reduce blood pressure.

    Why Chefs Rest Meat and You Probably Don’t

    Properly rested meat retains more of its natural juices, which means you need less added salt or rich sauces to make it flavorful, and the redistribution of moisture during resting helps preserve water-soluble B vitamins that would otherwise be lost when juices run out onto the cutting board.
