Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream , yes - half-n-half is ok to use as well as other substitutes like skimmed milk, but try and use the if you can - hey quick no 1 is looking
- freshly ground parmesan cheese to top it all off once ready to serve
- equipment needed: blender, soup pot with cover
Directions:
- In a large bowl open up cans of tomatoes and put into bowl.
- Slice up bacon and place with a little olive oil into the cold soup pot. On medium heat, let bacon slowly crisp up.
- While bacon is cooking, with own hands, carefully crush up tomatoes in large bowl - do your best not to squish onto yourself the tomato juices.
- Once bacon is done, strain out bacon, but leave fat in.
- Take diced up celery, carrots, onion and fresh ground pepper and let sweat in bacon fat till onion is translucent. Mmm getting there already! Sweat vs. sautée which means low to medium heat.
- Add garlic, continue sweating (not you, but the vegetables) for two minutes, add hand-crushed tomatoes to pot.
- Let simmer at least 45 minutes with cover on soup pot.
- Taste and add salt as necessary. Let soup cool down considerably before attempting to putting it into blender to liquidfy all soup in order to avoid blender popping its top and making a mess in your kitchen. Using a hand blender is great too and you can do it while it's still hot.
- Next add cream while heat is low. It's now ready to serve.
- Serve with rustic bread grilled cheeses if you like, sprinkle fresh parsley, the grated cheese, sprinkler with bacon bits and voila - the perfect top notch creamy tomato soup!
