For many folks, there’s nothing as comforting as a hot bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. And while I’m no stranger to opening a can, sometimes we want something a little different. So that’s where this Easy Tomato Soup with Bacon comes in. I just love the combination of smoky bacon and tart and tangy tomatoes in my Classic Macaroni and Tomatoes, Hot Tomato and Bacon Pasta, and my Tomatoes and Rice, so when I was searching for a fun way to jazz up tomato soup, I went right for the bacon.

But this soup doesn’t takes tons of time and effort. Nope. This is pretty easy. If you can fry up some bacon and dice some onion, you can make this soup. The biggest challenge is pureeing the soup. And while that might seem a little intimidating, having an immersion or stick blender will make it super simple. Just don’t skip this step. It actually vastly changes this soup by making it smooth and creamy, and the aeration actually changes the flavor a bit. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can do it in a counter top blender by working in batches and pureeing it until smooth. Just be sure to remove the center part of your blender top to allow the steam to escape. Otherwise, you might end up like me one Thanksgiving.
