Categories main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 pound slab or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
4 slices rustic Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups grated parmesan cheese, plus 1 small piece rind
4 tablespoons torn fresh parsley
4 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375. Cook the bacon in a medium pot over medium heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, then discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the pot. While the bacon cooks, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes.
Add the garlic to the bacon drippings and cook until slightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth, 1 1/2 cups water, the parmesan rind and 2 tablespoons parsley; season with salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes.
Adjust the heat so the broth is barely boiling. One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slip into the broth. Poach until just set, about 2 minutes. Transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon to individual soup bowls. Stir 1 cup parmesan and the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley into the broth and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the broth into the bowls and top with the croutons, bacon and the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.

BREAKFAST SOUP AKA BACON AND EGG SOUP

Breakfast Soup Aka Bacon and Egg Soup image

This is the soup I came up with when my son issued me a challenge! He and my husband, his Dad, play golf very early in the morning....even through the winter, unless there is snow on the ground. One morning, he asked if I could come up with a breakfast soup for their next excursion. It turned out so well, we've had it numerous times since.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3/4-1 lb bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces
4 tablespoons bacon drippings
5 tablespoons flour
9 -10 cups water
8 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt (depending upon the saltiness of the bouillon)
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and grated
1/2 teaspoon instant onion flakes
4 eggs, well beaten
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
italian style breadstick (optional)

Steps:

In Dutch oven, cook bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally to keep pieces separate.
Remove and drain bacon; keep warm.
Discard all but 4 tablespoons of the drippings.
Over medium heat, stir the flour into the drippings, blending well.
Cook roux over medium heat for two minutes, stirring constantly.
Add water, bouillon cubes (or substitute 9-10 cups ready made chicken bouillon) both kinds of pepper and salt (if using).
Heat to boiling, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and bouillon cubes are dissolved.
Add freshly grated potatoes and instant onion; simmer for ten minutes.
In bowl, mix eggs, nutmeg, parsley and Parmesan cheese.
Stir into simmering soup and continue stirring constantly for three minutes.
Eggs will separate into "rags"--just like the classic Italian Straciatella Soup.
Stir in the reserved bacon pieces and serve immediately with Italian style breadsticks, which are optional.

Tips

Use high-quality bacon: Look for thick-cut bacon with good marbling. This will give your soup a richer flavor.
Don't overcook the bacon: You want the bacon to be crispy, but not burnt. Cook it over medium heat until it's browned and slightly crispy.
Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give your soup a richer flavor and color.
Don't overcook the eggs: You want the eggs to be cooked through, but not overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they're just set.
Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
Garnish with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for bacon and egg soup include croutons, shredded cheese, green onions, and parsley.
