How to Make Breakfast Soup Aka Bacon And Egg Soup

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic in reserved bacon grease until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Whisk eggs, milk, and half-and-half together in a bowl.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the pan with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.
  5. Stir in the cooked bacon, potatoes, and chicken broth.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (such as thyme or chives).
  7. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra bacon crumbles, a sprinkle of cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
