Bacon soup

A delicious puréed potato soup with bacon! Puréed soups are a great way to add variety to lunch and to bring soup into the diet of people who aren't big soup fans. Their smooth texture is gentle on the stomach. You can dress these soups up at serving time with some of the unblended vegetables, croutons, or pieces of meat. Bacon soup is wonderfully fragrant and filling — just the thing for the cold season.
