This was simple & delicious…what more does any cook need?

Being a fan of Campbell’s Tomato Soup, I never felt the need to make tomato soup myself. But I am glad I tried this!
It was fast and easy as well as delicious (all three of my favorite adjectives when it comes to recipes!)
I used a blender and liked the consistency pureed thoroughly. The smoky flavor from both the cheese and bacon is pronounced…well worth the added effort of opening more than one can!
Add a crusty loaf of bread and there is no need to make a grilled cheese sandwich!

This was a great and easy soup! I couldn’t find my immersion blender so I just ran the tomatoes through the blender before putting them in the pot. I didn’t get rid of all bits though, like the previous reviewer, I like a bit of texture.

Very tomato-y but great! My immersion blender didn’t quite get all the chunks ground up (could be the husband operating the blender…) but I think that gave it a little something extra by way of texture. Way better than your average tomato soup – a grilled gouda sandwich on crusty bread would have been the perfect pairing!

Also, I used half & half and I think that worked perfectly in place of the cream.
