Penny's Bacon & Tomato Soup
"Canned tomatoes, bacon and chicken broth make this an easy soup to throw together! Perfect paired with a nice slice of southern cornbread. My mother got it from a nice restaurant around Clayton, GA. Can't think of the name of it though. A very tasty and easy soup."

- Mix remaining drippings and flour in pan and cook until light brown.
- Add onion and hot broth, stirring until smooth.

Thanks for the recipe, although I'm not really too much into tomatoes, this was good. I especially like the flavor of the broth with the bacon. I think next time, I will use 1 can of tomatoes and add either navy beans or potatoes. Good , easy soup. -
Before I get on with my review, I have to say that I'm very pleased to be the first to rate this.:) I made this recipe on 10/12/11 for the 2011 Fall PAC Event. Except for cutting in half, the recipe was made as it was written. The directions were so well written that even a beginner Chef could follow the recipe without making a mistake. I really enjoyed the " smokiness" that the bacon gave the soup, it didn't overpower the taste of the other ingredients at all.The only thing that I added to the soup was just a bit of ground black pepper. And to make it a perfect lunch, a grilled cheese sandwich was made to go with it. And how can you have tomato soup without a grilled cheese sandwich ? Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

I am wife to a wonderful husband and mother to our two beautiful little girls, Carah, 5 years old and Adalyn, 2 years. I have always loved to cook and like many of you I love looking at cookbooks and watching cooking shows. My mother does too, so I guess she passed this trait onto me. I work part-time so I do love to find delicious but quick recipes with few ingredients.
