PUREED BACON, LETTUCE AND TOMATO SOUP

Pureed Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Soup image

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!
