Potato soup with BLT'S

Do any of you love Blt's? (bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich)We do! In fact Joe say's it's his favorite that is why he eats 2 sandwiches :) I know Blt's are a summer specialty because that is when tomatoes are in season. I like to make them all year long because they are easy! You can eat them all by there selves or like I did last night, serve with soup! Potato soup is another favorite of mine. I love potatoes and since I don't eat wheat I eat a lot of potatoes. The two actually go nicely together, although you can fill up on either one with out the other.

Some things we like to add to our blt's - sliced onion, salt and pepper, and Joe likes to add cheese.

Now, with the potato soup, you can puree it if you want.

If you want the Blt recipe because you haven't had the chance to try one (for some strange reason I'm sure) Let me know! It is simple- Bacon+lettuce+tomato on bread.
