0:02
I wanna come over here, move right over here
0:04
and start the pot for our BLT soup.
0:07
Now I've got a half a cup of diced bacon.
0:13
And I'm gonna throw this in here.
0:17
And just let it start browning.
0:19
All right, we're gonna let that brown
0:21
and let all that pork fat come out of there.
0:26
All right now our bacon is browning
0:28
and you can see the fat coming out of the bacon.
0:33
So, you all forgive me when you see me do this.
0:37
But I'm gonna add just a couple of tablespoons of butter.
0:42
Just to make to make sure our soup is nice and rich.
0:47
All right now I'm gonna add a half a cup
0:50
of chopped green onions or scallions,
0:54
whatever you call them.
1:02
The next thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna add a half a cup
1:05
of self blending flour.
1:08
Now when I say self blending flour,
1:10
that's not like the flour that you would use
1:12
to make biscuits or cakes with
1:15
and it's an extra fine flour.
1:19
I don't know if you can se how fine it is on my finger.
1:23
And this flour will not lump on you
1:27
like a regular flour will.
1:29
All right, so I'm gonna add three cups of shredded lettuce.
1:34
All right, now we're gonna add our flour
1:36
and remember the name of this is instant blending flour.
1:41
That's what you would wanna look for in your grocery store.
1:48
Toss that over our ingredients
1:51
and in this other pot, I've got three and a half cups
1:55
of chicken stock that's boiling.
1:58
And then we're just gonna take this,
2:00
in fact, I think I'm gonna get a rag
2:05
and move this pot closer to me
2:09
and I'm just gonna add the chicken stock.
2:23
All right, now I'm gonna come over here
2:26
and I'm gonna add an eighth of a teaspoon of graded nutmeg.
2:32
And that's not enough to say, "Oh my goodness,
2:34
I taste nutmeg," but it's just enough
2:36
to give it a nice little underlying flavor.
2:42
And I'm gonna add about an eighth of a teaspoon
2:45
of red pepper flakes just to give it a little kick.
2:51
And then I'm gonna add one cup of diced fresh tomatoes.
2:57
So there you have it, BLT soup.
3:02
Look how good that looks.
3:04
All right, I've got one more ingredient
3:09
All right we've got one last ingredient
3:12
to add to our soup and that's some heavy cream
3:15
because you can see that that flour made it nice and thick.
3:19
Now if you don't want the cream, you can always use
3:24
So you can put this in the crock pot now,
3:26
let it stay on warm until everybody's home
3:31
Now I'm gonna ladle some of this up.
3:34
We've got the B, we've got the L
3:40
and we've even got the T.
3:43
But what do you eat on a BLT?
3:46
Mayonnaise is right. (laughs)
3:50
So I've got some mayonnaise here
3:52
and I've got some sour cream.
3:55
Just to cut the richness of that mayonnaise,
3:59
I'm gonna blend a little sour cream in it
4:02
and garnish my soup with that.
4:09
and then of course the last thing, just a little bacon.
4:17
And look how delicious that looks.
4:26
You're gonna be surprised and amazed
4:29
when you taste that soup and find out
4:33
how delicious BLT soup is.
