"Great Recipe! But I didn't saute the lettuce, instead I just chopped it and used it as a garnish for the soup. That way it stays crispy and fresh. Also, I chopped up the bacon and added extra bacon..." See more as well. This one is something wonderfully different. A little place here in town serves this once in a while and they say it is their most popular and most requested soups."
