BLT SOUP (BACON, LEEK, TOMATO SOUP).
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.

Steps:
- 1. Set stock to simmer in pot and heat a skillet to medium heat.
- 2. Chop and slice all ingredients add bacon to skillet, fry slowly until just crisp. Remove and place aside.
- 3. Brown leeks and garlic until golden in the drippings. Save with the bacon and keep the drippings.
- 4. Add all main ingredients and lemon juice to stock. let simmer for 25-45 minutes. At this point yo can tell how much spices you will need and but beware of the Chipotle and Black pepper, it may get too hot so don't over do it.
- 5. If it isn't "Bacony" enough add some of the dripping but no more than it just give a glossy sheen to the whole surface, but not too much, that will just make it greasy. Leave to simmer 10 more minutes.
- 6. Chop the Oregano as fine as you can be bothered to and add to pot. Turn heat off under the pot, leave for five minutes.
- 7. Ladle into bowls, add Creme-Fresh Finish with the last whole Oregano leaves along with the lemon zest on top and serve.
