PAULA DEEN'S BLT SOUP

• In a 3-quart pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly browned. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the lettuce and saute for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour into the pot, then stir until well blended.
• Remove pot from the heat and add hot chicken broth, tomatoes, nutmeg and pepper. Heat the soup to boiling, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the cream and mix well.
• Mix together the mayonnaise and sour cream. Serve each portion of soup with a dollop of mayonnaise mixture topped with crumbled bacon.

BLT SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot cook bacon until crisp.
• Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. When cool enough to handle crumble the bacon. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
• Saute the onions and celery in the pan drippings until soft, about 8 minutes.
• Add the broth, tomatoes, Worcestershire, garlic powder, parsley, pepper, thyme, and hot sauce if desired; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve immediately topped with bacon and shredded lettuce.

THE LADY AND SONS BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP ( PAULA DEEN )

Steps:

• If using chuck roast, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the roast in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the skillet and cut it into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes; discard the fat. Place the beef cubes in a large stockpot. (If using short ribs, you can put them right in the pot with no preparation).
• Add the water, tomatoes, onions, dried parsley, beef bouillon, dried Italian seasoning, House Seasoning, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic powder, black pepper and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot; reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
• If using short ribs, remove them from the pot and cut the meat from the bones, discard the bones and fat, and return the meat to the pot. Add the remaining vegetables and the macaroni and return the soup to a boil, stirring to distribute the ingredients.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Just before serving, season with salt and pepper and add fresh chopped parsley. To remove excess fat from the surface of the soup, swirl a lettuce leaf around the surface-it will pick up a lot of the fat.
