chipotle bacon white bean soup with jalapeño cheddar crumble

Do y’all remember the book Chicken Soup for the Soul?

Oh, it’s a book series? Gotchaaaaaa.

Wait. How many books are in the series? Over 250 you say?!! Stop it. That’s a lot of soup. Hold on, it’s not actually about soup? You don’t say. Why call it Chicken Soup for the Soul? Every time I read the title I get instantly hungry.

Actually, chicken soup sounds good right about now. No, I’m thinking tomato basil with grilled cheese. Still not right. Oh, I know what I want, Chipotle Bacon White Bean Soup with Jalapeño Cheddar Crumble. YAHTZEE! Because you can’t go wrong with bacon or jalapeno cheddar. Am I right?

But let me fill you in on a secret. You won’t find this tip in one of those chicken soup books. I sprinkled breadcrumbs on top of the bacon. GASP! But not just any breadcrumbs, Progresso Plain Breadcrumbs. I mixed it with some of my favorite spices – cumin, paprika, chipotle powder, coriander, and garlic powder. I’m telling you it creates this extra crispy crust on top of the bacon….have mercy.

The best part about this soup, it comes together quickly. Soup need not to be complicated. All you need is a nice base, a few extra spices, and BOOM. A delicious hearty soup in 30 minutes. Just don’t forget the jalapeño cheddar crumble.

It’s the true Chicken Soup for the Soul.
