Abstract: We study the set of solutions (omegag,n)ggeq0,ngeq1 of abstract loop equations. We prove that omegag,n is determined by its purely holomorphic part: this results in a decomposition that we call "blobbed topological recursion". This is a generalization of the theory of the topological recursion, in which the initial data (omega0,1,omega0,2) is enriched by non-zero symmetric holomorphic forms in n variables (phig,n)2g2+n>0. In particular, we establish for any solution of abstract loop equations: (1) a graphical representation of omegag,n in terms of phig,n; (2) a graphical representation of omegag,n in terms of intersection numbers on the moduli space of curves; (3) variational formulae under infinitesimal transformation of phig,n ; (4) a definition for the free energies omegag,0=Fg respecting the variational formulae. We discuss in detail the application to the multi-trace matrix model and enumeration of stuffed maps.
