My New Zealand SIL's recipe. We love it for lunch on a weekend, and are more likely to eat it in Spring or Autumn than the dead of winter.

I'm allergic to tomatoes. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

I'm planning to make this soup for a party next week. Do you think it can be made ahead of time?

The soup was good, but I think it would have been better with a different type of bean. I used kidney beans, and they were a bit too mushy.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of tomato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The bacon and beans added a nice savory flavor, and the Parmesan cheese gave it a creamy richness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup was a hit with my family! The flavors of the tomatoes, bacon, and beans came together perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the Parmesan cheese at the end. It gave the soup a rich, creamy texture.
