Simple Tomato Bacon Soup Recipes

PENNY'S BACON & TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crispy. Drain, reserving 4 T. of drippings.
• Sauté onion in 1 T. of bacon drippings (or olive oil) until soft and transparent.
• Mix remaining drippings and flour in pan and cook until light brown.
• Add onion and hot broth, stirring until smooth.
• Whisk in can of water, tomatoes and bacon.
• Cook on low heat for 30-45 minutes.
• I think this would probably be good with turkey bacon for a lighter version and olive oil in place of the drippings.
