Instructions

  1. . Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon to paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. . In the bacon drippings, cook onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and smoked paprika, cook 1 minute.
  3. . Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. . Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Stir in cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. . Ladle into bowls. Crumble bacon on top, add croutons, and garnish with small lettuce leaves if desired for the full BLT experience.

Recipe Notes

  • Cook the bacon until very crispy—it will soften slightly in the soup
  • Don't discard the bacon drippings—they're essential for flavor
  • Add bacon just before serving to keep it crispy
