Directions
Pureed Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Soup, Tried this from a soup cookbook-very good creamy tomato soup, but it should be named Tomato Basil Soup I did not put the lettuce in and would suggest cutting back on the basil and garnish with green onions DO NOT refrigerate with bacon left in soup–alters the taste!, Brilliant recipe, My wife has had bariatric surgery so I adjusted slightly, I added the bacon peices to the soup during the simmer stage, pureed all of it with a hand hold blender while still warm, and omitted the lettuce (pureed lettuce did not sound too appealing to the wife!!!), Tried this from a soup cookbook-very good creamy tomato soup, but it should be named Tomato Basil Soup I did not put the lettuce in and would suggest cutting back on the basil and garnish with green onions DO NOT refrigerate with bacon left in soup–alters the taste!
