Creamy Tomato Basil & Bacon Soup

This Creamy Tomato Basil & Bacon Soup is gonna blow your mind!

I am SO excited about all of the responses I received on my Soup Sundays post! One of my lovely readers (thanks Ashley!) highly recommended this tomato soup recipe and I thought it looked incredible — because bacon!!! But I was torn because we already love this tomato soup recipe too! So I ended up combining some of the ingredients from both recipes together and came up with…the best tomato basil soup…with BACON!Creamy Tomato Basil & Bacon SoupCreamy Tomato Basil & Bacon Soup

It seems to be a good soup for this weekend despite I do not love tomato a lot. I'll do it for my family.
