BLT Soup By Kelly Miller • September25,2014 • Updated January 12, 2022 • 5 Comments 1.1K Jump to Recipe BLT Soup combines all the flavors of your favorite bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich in a bowl! This is perfect for a busy weeknight or a game day party! You guys. This soup. OMYUM!! Seriously, it’s a pound of bacon. I think I’m in love with this soup! I realized when I was tweaking this recipe that I hadn’t had a classic BLT probably since my mom’s house! I usually make this Waffle BLT with Fresh Herb Spread for a quick dinner. But man, this soup. I can’t believe I didn’t like bacon as a kid. What in God’s name was I thinking? I think it was probably because my dad likes it “extra crispy”, AKA semi-burnt. Haha! Gotta love him. I think BLT in soup form is the perfect mashup for the cool fall and coming winter weather, don’t you think? I also love dinners that I don’t have to assemble for each person, call me lazy. 🙂 When it’s a bowl of soup, you just ladle it in a bowl and dinner is served! Plus, soup in general is one of my favorites to freeze. Ladle 1 – 2 cups of cooled soup in a ziploc freezer bag and lay it in the freezer flat. Once completely frozen, you can line them up for compact storage – such a great trick! Basically I’m not giving you an option, you need to put this soup on your next menu plan. Got it?! My little boys went absolutely nuts for this soup! Anytime they smell bacon cooking they come running. They especially loved the croutons and I have to agree, the crunch was fun!
