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!

- Add carrots, onion, celery and garlic to drippings and saute over medium heat for about 8 mins, until tender.

- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool--very important.
- Transfer cooled soup (do not want it steamy or the lid will fly off) to a blender and puree.
- Return to pan and cook over med heat for 5 minutes Stir in lettuce and cook 1 min or until wilted.
