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!

    Hawaiian Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

    Chicken breast is one of the leanest proteins available, high in B vitamins and selenium. Using honey instead of refined sugar in the marinade provides trace minerals and antioxidants alongside sweetness. Pineapple contains bromelain, a natural enzyme that supports digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties, making this tropical salsa as functional as it is delicious.

    Key West Grilled Chicken

    Lime juice in the marinade provides vitamin C and acts as a natural tenderizer through its citric acid content, producing a juicier, more tender finished chicken without any added fat. Honey is bold enough in flavor that a small amount delivers meaningful caramelization and sweetness on the grill, keeping the overall sugar content of the marinade moderate.

    The Cook’s Library: Books That Changed How We Think About Food

    Research on food literacy — the understanding of where food comes from, how it is produced, and what its nutritional and ecological implications are — consistently finds that higher food literacy is associated with better dietary quality, greater consumption of whole and minimally processed foods, and stronger motivation for sustainable food choices. Reading about food — not just recipe books but books about food culture, food systems, and food history — is one of the most effective ways to develop food literacy. The investment of time in the cook’s library produces measurable improvements in the quality of food choices that purely nutritional education does not achieve.
