Cheddar Cheese Soup at Le Cellier

[brcworks]

I finally got ADR at Le Cellier, and everyone says I gotta try the soup. But I'm a vegetarian and I've heard there is bacon in it. Please tell me you can get it without the bacon...

While Disney restaurants are normally willing to accomodate dietary needs....I'd think that this one might be one that they won't be able to do for you. Soup of course would have to be cooked a few hours ahead (and if that cheddar soup is actually some weird instant, please don't tell me, I do NOT want to know). And since the bacon is a part of the soup, not just a condiment sprinkled on top of it....well, that would mean that they'd have to make a batch just for you.

Now, that said, it couldn't hurt to ask, maybe the get enough requests for veggie that they make a batch to have on hand or something.
But just be prepared to be disappointed.

Hi. Not sure about the exact recipe/methods Le Cellier uses, but I whipped up a batch of the cheese soup from a recipe found on this board and I'd say the bacon cannot be taken away. One of the first steps is to render the bacon and add other ingredients to the bacon fat and pieces in order to make a roux. My guess is they make it ahead of time and you really wouldn't be able to avoid it.
