SPINACH AND BACON SOUP
Perfect low carb soup for a quick lunch. This is a very basic soup--you can vary the flavors by adding your favorite fresh herbs. I have even added a beaten egg to the boiling soup, just like in egg drop soup.

CREAMY BACON MUSHROOM SOUP
I've always enjoyed cooking and recently created this rich soup. It's always a hit. You can also garnish it with chopped green onion tops or shredded Swiss cheese. For a creamier, smoother consistency, try pouring the soup through a strainer. -Nathan Mercer Inman, South Carolina
