BLT Soup (Bacon, Leek, Tomato Soup). image

Not too hot or filling but fairly spicy, pure indulgence for the bacon lover. Lots of flavor and a bit of sweetness. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches. If you vant to make it more filling add one tin of cooked kidney beans with the spices.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I loved this soup! The bacon and leeks really balance out the flavor of the tomatoes.
