Bacon and Egg Soup

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

Turn everyone’s favorite breakfast into lunch with this easy recipe for bacon and egg soup! With a little spinach and cheese in the mix as well for good measure and extra deliciousness.

bacon and egg soup

This recipe for bacon and egg soup comes out of my steadfast belief that bacon and eggs in any form are a beautiful thing, and soup in any form is a beautiful thing, so it stands to reason that if you put two beautiful things together, you have one perfect bowl of deliciousness.

In this case, we are making a light and lovely soup that also has a handful of cheese and some baby spinach to make sure we get our veggies.

And to make things even more wonderful, it all comes together in about 5 minutes, making it a perfect quick lunch or supper when you or someone you love just can’t wait for dinner.  Ready to bacon and egg up your soup?  Let’s make it!

Here’s How You Make Bacon And Egg Soup!

I like to keep the kitchen clean-up down to a minimum (not that I actually clean up the kitchen – the beloved Southern husband does that for me – but I try and make it as easy on him as possible) so I cook the chopped bacon up in the same saucepan the soup is going in.

Cook it up until it is your favorite degree of doneness and then let it drain on paper towels for the few more minutes it is going to take you to make the rest of the soup.

Now stir in the spinach until it is nice and wilted, and then stir in the cheese.  Last but definitely not least, drizzle in 2 beaten eggs – they will start cooking right away, making that gorgeous feathery shape you see in the picture.

Stir the soup for about 30 seconds more, and then dish it into bowls, garnishing it with that scrumptious crispy bacon.

If you want things extra heavenly, serve up some buttered toast on the side, ideally from a loaf of this super-easy almost no-knead bread recipe.

Realize that if you really put your mind to it, you could probably figure out a way to have bacon and eggs for three meals a day!

    Brilliant! Leave it to you to make bacon and eggs more cozy to eat. How is the Southern Husband doing? Has he fully recovered yet from his falling up adventure last month? Hope so!

      Oh gosh, I wish I could say yes, but I’m not sure what that would do to the eggs. Cooked eggs don’t tend to freeze well. But maybe there won’t be leftovers! :)
