Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Make the croutons: Melt 1 tablespoon butter, then mix with the paprika in a bowl. Add the bread cubes and toss. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.

BLT AND P (BACON, LEEK, TOMATO AND POTATO) SOUP
Bacon, Leek and Tomato Soup is a soup for any season! It is surprisingly light and colorful and full of vegetables. It makes a simple, flavorful, special lunch or supper that warms you up, soul and stomach. It is especially delicious on rainy days or nights! I first made this for my mom because she and I both LOVE Oscar's bacon and we wanted a whole pot full of soup that tasted like it! We ate a pot of it while watching movies curled up in the living room of the cabin.

Steps:
- Heat a medium soup pot or deep sided skillet over medium-high heat. To the hot pan add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and the bacon. Cook bacon until brown and crisp. Add the chopped celery. Take peeled carrots and lay flat on cutting board. Hold each carrot at root end and use the vegetable peeler to make long, thin strips of the carrot. Chop the thin slices into small carrot bits or carrot chips, 1/2-inch wide. Add the chips to celery and stir. Cut leeks lengthwise and then into 1/2-inch half moons. Place the leeks into a colander and run under rushing cold water, separating the layers to wash away all the trapped grit. When the leeks are separated and clean, shake off water and add to celery and carrots. Stir veggies together, add a bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. While the leeks cook to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes, slice the potatoes.
- Cut each potato across into thirds. Stand each piece of potato upright and thinly slice it. The pieces will look like raw potato chips.
- Add stock to vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add potatoes and tomatoes. Cook 8 to 10 minutes until potatoes are tender and starting to break up a bit. Add bacon and parsley and stir. Adjust seasonings. Serve immediately with crusty bread.

- Pick the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for this soup, as they break down easily and give it a creamy texture.
- Don't skip the bacon: The bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. If you don't have bacon, you can substitute diced ham or pancetta.
- Use good quality leeks: Leeks can vary in quality, so choose ones that are fresh and have a mild flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as chopped bacon, shredded cheese, or sour cream.
