Directions
BLT & P (Bacon, Leek, Tomato and Potato) Soup,A satisfying soup version of a BLT for those days when you need a warming up-with a BACON pick me up!! (When don’t we need those, eh?). Another RR treat!!,Very good, perfect for a cold and miserable night. I halved the recipe and only used 1 slice of bacon because I wanted it to be a bit milder on the meat side of things. I didn’t have celery or leeks, so I added more carrots and subbed in onions. I cut my potatoes a bit thicker and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to cook them through. I also used fresh tomato instead of canned. As with many soups, it takes to substitutions and changes quite well. I really liked the smokiness that the bacon gave, which made it stand out from a lot of other veggie-heavy soups I’ve made.,Used onions instead of leeks, used fresh tomatoes, used less bacon than called for, put in extra carrots, and used Italian seasoning instead of parsley.
