BLT and P (Bacon, Leek, Tomato and Potato) Soup image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
6 slices lean, smoky good quality bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
3 small ribs celery from the heart of the stalk, finely chopped
2 small to medium carrots
3 leeks, trimmed of rough tops and roots
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper
3 medium starchy potatoes, such as Idaho, peeled
2 quarts chicken stock
1 (15-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
Handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Crusty bread, for dunking and mopping

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.

TOMATO SOUP WITH CANDIED BACON



Tomato Soup with Candied Bacon image

The whole point of tomato soup is to make one as an adult that tastes as good as when you were a kid. This one-a velouté with smoky paprika and a maple-sugar-dusted strip of bacon-is that soup. Now all you need is a grilled-cheese sandwich...

Provided by Naomi Pomeroy

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces thick-sliced bacon, about 8 slices
1/4 cup maple sugar, or light brown sugar
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 medium yellow onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Kosher salt, divided
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 1/2 cups canned chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
2 1/2 cups water
Zest of ½ lemon
1 2/3 cups whole milk, divided
1/2 cup heavy cream, divided
6 dashes Tabasco sauce, divided
1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bacon, part 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and arrange bacon slices on the rack in an even layer. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of maple sugar on each slice, lightly pressing to help it adhere. Flip bacon and repeat so both sides are coated. Bake until almost crisp, 8 minutes, checking after 5 to ensure it's not burning.
  • Soup: In a pot over medium-high heat, add 4 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is rippling, add the onions. Stir and cook until they're soft and translucent, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add garlic and half the salt, and cook 2-3 more minutes. Add remaining olive oil and the tomato paste. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes. This is called "frying out": the tomato paste will caramelize and stick to the pan, making a great soup base. Add chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika, fish sauce, remaining salt, and sugar. Stir, scraping to deglaze the pot. Add water, stir again, cover, and simmer, 20 minutes.
  • Bacon, part 2: Finish crisping the bacon by flipping it again and sprinkling the remaining sugar on top. Return to oven to render out the remaining fat, 4 minutes. Bacon will look glassy when it's done. Remove to cool. (Note: Bacon will not be crisp until it has completely cooled.)
  • Soup, part 2: Stir lemon zest into soup. Blend in two batches: for the first, ladle half the soup into a blender, along with ⅔ cup milk and ¼ cup cream. Fill blender no more than halfway, remove lid plug, and cover with a kitchen towel to catch spatters. Blend on low to start, then switch to high until smooth and puréed. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Add a pinch of sugar, 4 dashes Tabasco, pepper, and ¼ cup milk. Cover and blend on high to purée. Ladle the soup into a clean pot to rewarm and set aside. Repeat for the second batch with remaining soup and Tabasco, pinch of sugar, ¾ cup milk, and ¼ cup cream. Then add second batch to the pot.
  • Assembly: Reheat soup over low heat, 2 minutes. Ladle into bowls, and garnish with candied bacon. Serve immediately.

PUREED BACON, LETTUCE AND TOMATO SOUP



Pureed Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Soup image

Tips for Making the Best Tomato Bacon Soup:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to use different types of tomatoes. A combination of Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes will give your soup a complex flavor.
  • Roast your tomatoes before adding them to the soup. This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give them a smoky flavor.
  • Use a good quality bacon. The flavor of the bacon will really shine through in the soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon. This will prevent the bacon from getting crispy.
  • Add a splash of cream or milk to the soup for a richer flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
