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!

I love the idea of this soup, but I think it needs a few more ingredients. I'm going to try adding some diced carrots and celery next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out bland. I think I need to add more salt and pepper next time.

This soup is a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try it with less bacon next time.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this soup. The bacon and lettuce balance out the tomato flavor perfectly.

This soup is amazing! It's so flavorful and creamy, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
