Le Cellier Cheese Soup without bacon?

[BabyPiglet]

The cheese soup has bacon throughout it, not just on top, right? Has anybody ever been able to get it without the bacon? I know that Disney is great with working with vegetarians.

It's throughout and they do not make it without.

Disney is great with vegetarians, but that doesn't mean making an alternate version of every item on their menu. There are other veggie options there.

If the soup is something you'd really like to try, then I'd call in advance to let them know and see if they could accommodate that. They have been really great about having a vegetarian option ready, but I don't know if it's that.

I don't think they would be able to make an alternative because I am sure that the soup is prepared in a very large amount, not just one serving at a time.

Wow! Cheese soup tastes nice with bacon, without it, it don’t know how it will taste like. Where on earth can you see a cheese without bacon or ham?

I'm pretty sure the base of the Cheddar Cheese soup at Le Cellier is chicken stock so its not just the bacon making it non-vegetarian friendly. Although Disney can usually accommodate most dietary restrictions I don't think this is one of those cases as it would require re-doing the entire recipe to make it vegetarian. Sorry

Aw, thanks. There's no way I would ask them to make an entire batch just for me, I was just wondering if they already had a veggie-friendly version available. I really didn't think so, but thanks anyway.

If you want to see what's in Lecellier's cheddar soup then just check it out on Allears under their menu section. My husband and I tried the soup (also delicious ice wine) during the food and wine festival last October. We loved it sooo much that we looked it up and decided to try making it at home. Maybe you can substitute a vegetable broth for the chicken broth and something for the bacon. The original version comes out just like the restaurant's...bit of warning though... follow the recipe as written. We tried putting the canadian ale in too early in the recipe and the whole batch kind of curdled..changed the texture.

Last year, hey did make it for someone in my party with Duck and duck fat and not bacon. They explained that they needed the meat to attain the smokiness of the soup.

Not vegetarian, I know. But they will go out of their way to accommodate food issues.

They could use smoked cheddar.

They could use smoked cheddar.

They could, but it would change the flavor of the soup. They use aged cheddar for a reason. The bacon is used not only for smoke, but to sautee the diced vegetables in bacon fat, and they use chicken stock as well. Asking them to make that many substitutions (no bacon as garnish, no bacon throughout, no bacon fat, no chicken stock and smoked cheddar - which I agree would be a decent substitute for the smoke flavor though it would change the flavor) to a product made in mass quantities is a bit much IMHO.

Sorry. In my post above I meant to say that you could find the directions for the soup under allears in the recipe section...not menu.
