Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the bacon

Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

2
Prepare the vegetables

Roughly chop the tomatoes. Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté the aromatics

In the same pot with the bacon fat, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.

4
Add tomatoes and seasonings

Add the chopped tomatoes, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.

5
Add broth and simmer

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6
Blend the soup

Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth.

7
Add cheese, cream, and bacon

Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Add the cooked bacon pieces and stir to combine.

8
Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Cheesy Bacon and Tomato Soup hot.
