Answer 1

Gorgonzola Soup with Bacon


Category: Soup/Stock


Prep: 30 minutes
Yield: 2 gal Cook: 1 hour
Portion Size: 6 fl oz Finish: 0
Num Portions: 42 Shelf: 3 days
Tools: French Knife, Stock Pot, Wire Whip

Quantity Unit Ingredient
1½ lb sliced bacon, chopped
8 ea leek, washed & chopped fine
1 cup butter
10 clove garlic, minced
4 ea tomatoes, peeled, seeded, & chopped
1 tbl dried thyme
1 tbl dried rosemary
1 tbl dried sage
1 tbl ground fennel seed
3 ea bay leaf
½ cup flour
1 gal chicken stock
2 qt half and half cream
½ lb gorgonzola cheese
2 tbl freshly ground black pepper
2 cup sliced almonds, toasted


Procedure: Cook the bacon in the pot until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside for later. Add the leeks and butter, and cook until softened. Add the garlic, tomatoes, herbs, and spices and cook another 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 5 minutes, keeping the heat on low to prevent scorching the mixture. Stir in the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the cream and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and begin to whisk in the gorgonzola cheese. The cheese will incorporate easily into the soup. Stir in the pepper, almonds, and reserved bacon. Season to taste with additional salt, though most domestic blue cheeses are sufficiently salty.

You have a great flavor Idea here, the tomato soup I'd make a creamy version and add a cup of gorgon to at the end along with some crumbles bacon as a topper, a bit of parmesan cheese would balance the flavor also.

Answer 3

I don't have that recipe, but I think I have to make one up now!!!

If you have Trader Joes in your area they have a great tomatoe/roasted red pepper soup that I use as a base and doctor up to make various quick soups. Bacon and gorgonzola will be very interesting to try in that.

Chef Caprial Pence has a smokey tomatoe soup recipe in one of her books that I highly recommend. I beleive it also has bacon in it and gorgonzola would be a wonderful garnish for it. I think that recipe is in her "Caprial Cooks for Friends" book but it could be a different one.

Good luck!
