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!

- Use a good-quality chicken broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good-quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.

- Puree the soup until it's smooth. This will give the soup a creamy texture. You can use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
