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.

How To Make blt soup (bacon, leek, tomato soup).

Step 1

Set stock to simmer in pot and heat a skillet to medium heat.

Step 2

Chop and slice all ingredients add bacon to skillet, fry slowly until just crisp. Remove and place aside.
Step 3

Brown leeks and garlic until golden in the drippings. Save with the bacon and keep the drippings.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 7

Ladle into bowls, add Creme-Fresh Finish with the last whole Oregano leaves along with the lemon zest on top and serve.
