@SoupAddict, Kudos to you for your response. I can tell you are full of grace! I’m with the others…you had me at bacon! Making this recipe right now!

LOL! Yes, a soup called “BLT Soup” is not going to be a health soup. I don’t position this blog as a healthy soup blog. There are some healthy recipes here, but again, not my focus. Try googling “healthy vegan soup” – you’ll find plenty of sites with a health focus that will also lead you to other sites via their links and the readers who leave comments (start with Oh She Glows). (And if you find a particularly fab recipe, do stop back and leave the link. Seriously. I don’t eat BLT soup every day (or ever, since I no longer eat animal bacon – my choice, but not everyone’s). I’m rather fond of quinoa, smoky maple tempeh, and sprouts. 🙂 But I also enjoy the occasional creamy soup made with coconut milk, or a hearty pasta and vegetable.) Good luck on your search, and sorry to have sent you away disappointed.

I’m absolutely loving all the recipes, I’m a proper soup addict these days and spreading that healthy addiction amongst my friends.
Quick question about a dash of crushed red pepper, do you mean the vegetable – fresh red pepper or some sort of a spice?
Many thanks and please post more recipes :).

I think you just made me a soup fan. No lie. I have never been much of a soup person but this thing just knocked my socks off! I made it “Paleo-ish” by omitting the bread and used a tablespoon of arrowroot starch instead of flour. I also only used one tomato instead of two as it seemed enough for me. And man, the butter really makes a difference! I didn’t have any mayo or creme fraiche so I used sour cream with great results. Thank you for this post! Now time to go troll the rest of your site for other winners 😀

So glad you liked it!

I just made this (AMAZING) and added a nice handful of parmigiana reggiano to my bowl and OMG.

That’s the great thing about the wonderful world of food blogs: you start with a recipe, and then make your own riff so it’s perfect just for you. I love that!

It holds up amazingly well. I know how it sounds (I paused at the thought myself, even though I was determined to do it), but it really works.
