This was, indeed, delicious. I've often used lettuce in a soup, but this is a great way to move it up a bit. The only addition I made was to use some cheddar cheese, which I added just before serving. A BLT w/C! Thnx for sharing your recipe, ~*Kisha*~. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

I am a stay at home mom to a very active teenager, and toddler. DH and I love to cook together in our way. I find the recipes, then I watch him cook them LOL

<br>My family picks on me constantly as I have a thing with raw meat, it really skeeves me out so I can not touch it, which makes cooking on my own a challenge.

<br>DH is in the Air Force and sadly will be leaving sometime the beginning of next year to go play in the sand for a year, so I am currently on the lookout for dishes I can cook on my own or with my teen easily and with minimal touching of raw meat.
