Steps:
- In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant - about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Add the tomatoes and sugar*. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, being sure to keep the blender head close to the bottom of the pot to prevent splattering. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve topped with the crispy bacon pieces and a sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese.
