Spicy BLT Soup--Suggestions welcome
Found the recipe below in Everyday Food earlier this summer. Upon entering the indigents into the "My Recipe" program, I never realized how much calories/fat the olive oil cost. Any suggestions on how to improve it? (Don't worry, I use bacon and the croutons VERY sparingly)
Andrea's Spicy BLT Soup
Everyday Food Summer 2011
2 lb assorted tomatoes, finely chopped
1 small cucumber, coarsely chopped
2 medium Fresno chiles or jalapeños, stemmed and chopped
½ small yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 slice white bread, crust removed and torn into pieces
½ c extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp sugar
croutons, crumbled cooked bacon, and sliced lettuce, to garnish
Sprinkle tomatoes with ¼ tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes. In a blender, combine the soup ingredients and purée until smooth for about 1 minute.
Press through sieve and discard solids. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
Four servings(?)

I would switch out the bacon for turkey bacon (LOVE IT!) very low cal...low fat. I wonder how important the olive oil is in this recipe? How much would it change the taste if you omitted it?0
-
Maybe instead of the oil you could use low sodium veggie broth?0
-
I would exchange chicken broth or beef broth for the oil and just before serving drizzle maybe a teaspoon of olive oil on the top to give it the flavor0
