On this blog, Saturday is Bacon recipe day. So no Excel tips and tricks today. Today we learn about bacon.
I missed Bacon Recipe Saturday last week. I was writing and traveling. While I was AWOL from my bacon duties, Christine sent me this cartoon.
That got me thinking about chicken soup, and how people sip on chicken soup when they are sick.
I wondered if I could have bacon soup if I got sick. It turns out; I can have Bacon and Cheese Soup!
Here’s what you’ll need.
8 slices bacon
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon white wine Worcestershire sauce
1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded American cheese
In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp over medium heat, turning frequently.
Remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons drippings from saucepan.
Add butter to saucepan along with carrots and onion.
Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until crisp tender, stirring frequently.
Add flour, mustard, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
Cook until bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Add both kinds of milk and cook until soup has thickened a bit, about 10 minutes.
Stir in cheese until melted.
Stir in bacon and serve.
Notes: It’s fun to pour this soup into a 32oz cup and drink it like a fitness shake. People will think you’re health conscious.
Bummer….Didn’t realise it was recipe day. Only clicked on your headline from Google Reader because I thought ‘bacon and cheese soup’ was an allusion to your writing style.
